Why had Islam not spread to Asia minor?
I assume the you are asking within the time of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs and the Umayyad Caliphs. Asia Minor at that time was held by the Byzantine Empire which was more capable of defending the Anatolian highlands than was the Arab cavalry at taking it.
What importance did Caliphs have in ancient times?
None. Caliphs came to power in the Medieval Period. As for the Medieval period, the Caliphs were the leaders of the Muslim Empires called Caliphates. The four first Caliphs were called the Rightly-Guided Caliphs and they also had some religious authority in Islam. Because of the barbarity of the Umayyad Caliphs, the religious authority left the Caliphs and vested in the local Imams. Religious authority would return to the Caliphs in the mid-1500s in the Ottoman Empire until Atatürk abolished the Caliphate in 1936.
