Strontium (Sr) would react most like calcium (Ca) because they are both in the same group (Group 2) of the Periodic Table and share similar chemical properties.
Technically salt does not react with water. It will dissolve in water which is not the same thing as causing a chemical reaction. Calcium by itself does not react with salt water -- it is dissolved into the water and is a crucial element of life for many salt-water species. Some compounds containing calcium may react with (or in) salt water.
Calcium is an element. (Ca on the periodic table).
No, calcium and chlorine are not the same thing. Calcium is a chemical element that is essential for strong bones and teeth, while chlorine is a chemical element used for water purification and in the production of various products like PVC.
Mg (magnesium)
Calcite is not an element. It is a mineral which is made up of the elements calcium, carbon, and oxygen.In chemistry it is known as the compound calcium carbonate, CaCO3

Calcium is in group 2/IIA, so the other elements in that group would be expected to behave most like calcium.
Calcium nitrate can react with metals like magnesium and aluminum to form their respective nitrates. It is not typically reactive with most other metals since calcium tends to be more stable in its compounds.

I would imagine, logically, Calcium would react with every element except the Noble Gases - as they already have full outer energy levels, thus being unreactive. You will often find one calcium reacting with one element from group 6, for example Oxygen. CaO (as they strive to reach a full outer shell.)
Most metals react with acids to give off hydrogen. Only very nonreactive metals, like gold and platinum do not react with metals. An example would be: Calcium + Hydrochloric Acid = Calcium chloride + Hydrogen gas (Ca +2 HCl = CaCl2 + H2)
The iron will not react unless you react it with calcium chloride. This is because Chloride is very electronegative (it has a high affinity for electrons) Both iron and calcium are not very electronegative and would like to give away their electrons. The Chloride ion accepts these electrons to get a full valent shell.
