Answer 1

What sort of information do you want to send between the emulators?

You can transmit SMS messages, or simulate phone calls, from one emulator to another using the target emulator's console port number as the number to dial. The Android Developer Site describes the process in more detail under "Sending a Voice Call or SMS to Another Emulator Instance"

If you want to transmit data, unfortunately Android doesn't currently provide any P2P or Instant Messaging APIs, so there's no generic technique available through the SDK you can use.

Your best alternative is to create your own server-based solution (or your own P2P API, though that might be a little more complicated).
