Answer 1

If the underlying operating system exposes that data, you can access it using a Native Extension. You may have to write your own Native Extension to do that, though.

Answer 2

You can call these API's - Accelerometer

GPS

Camera

Microphone

To store data-

Sql Lite Datebases

OS Interactions-

Text Message

Email

Call

Example-

protected function sendMessage(event:MouseEvent):void {
var message:String = "";
message +="sms:";
message+ = sendTo.text;
navigateToURL ( new URLRequest (message));
}

This should open your messaging app. However the data you to want to read is mostly going to be protected. You can write a Native Extension though and plug Flex into it.
