Answer 1

If I correctly understand what you need, then you can do the following using OOTB feature from UI:

1. Create your two custom columns
2. Modify the default view for the calendar
3. Add two filters based on your custom columns

Answer 2

You can accomplish this by using parameterbinding on your calender view:

• Open the page in SharePoint designer and edit your pages that contains the calender webpart.
  • Add two parameterbindings for your columns like:<ParameterBinding Name="mycustomcol1" />
  • Save your page.
  • Go to SharePoint, edit the page
  • Add query string filter webpart
  • Connect the filter webpart to your calender webpart and use the option, get parameter from.
  • Do this for you other columns as well
  • Then open the webpart properties of your calender webpart and edit the view
  • Use you parameters to filter your view. It can be used like {mycustomcol1}
