Bald Eagles have been seen carrying 15-pound deer fawns. This is considerably less than a calf weighs, so probably not. However, it's quite likely they could kill a calf and eat (part of) it on the spot if they wanted to.

That depends on the size of the eagle and the size of a child. A big eagle and a small child, yes. Most other combinations, no.

Yes a very large bird could lift a very small child, but not for very far

I would suggest that an eagle would not be able to pick up a person, unless the eagle is uncommonly large or the person is uncommonly small.
