If you are signed in under iTunes and App Stores with 1 appleID for both, this allows you to share the purchases.

If you sign in using a different AppleID for each of you in iCloud/iMessage/Facetime, this will allow you to have separate contacts/calanders/reminders/ and message as you desire.

Yes you can. I use 4 devices that share an Apple ID and we can FaceTime and Message with all 4 of them. You do need to create additional email addresses for three of the devices. You can use the Apple ID email address as the contact at email address on one of the devices. Some people suggest creating a new ID and iCloud account for this purpose, but you can do it with existing email addresses as well.

This is quite helpful. Give it a look.
