Could coyotes kill a 350 or 400 lb calf?
If they had enough in a pack to bring one down, and were hungry enough, yes. Coyotes that are alone won't bring down a calf themselves. But if there are more than one, like 2 or 4 in a group, then they could definitely bring down a calf. Most cases of calf killings are not by coyotes, but by feral dogs or wolves.

Will a calves bottom teeth protrude out for a while?
If it's not a severe abnormality, it should correct itself as the calf gets older. But in some cases it can be so severe that the calf will have it for the rest of its life, which may affect it's ability to eat or graze. An overbite jaw in cattle can affect performance because they won't be able to eat or graze properly enough to survive or thrive on it without being supplemented with grain. Keep an eye on the calf, and consider not keeping the calf at all for any sort of breeding purposes.
