For some of the non-gm calculation and tracking, you might try the GURPS Calculator app for Android systems. I have it installed on my phone and one of my tablets. I also have http://obrienscafe.com/gurps-combat-calculator.html that I wrote. There's a copy there for Windows, but source is provided to build a command line version that runs on Linux or OS X. Of the two, I tend to use my own creation running on my netbook, from the command line. But I'm a UNIX dev for my day job, so working on the command line is the easiest option for me.

For the tracking and management of a campaign, I have created http://www.rpg-campaign.com, and I have also created a nice set of wiki templates for dokuwiki. There's also the very popular Obsidian Portal. In fact, I'd encourage you to check out Obsidian Portal for organizing your campaign. While I like my site, Obsidian Portal has done a lot of great work to build a solid site, and I'm impressed by what I see there.

A lot of what you're trying to do is also supported by Google Docs and Google Drive. In fact I think that coupling that with google+ and the hangout service would make a pretty good online gaming portal. As a bonus, anything stored in Google Docs and Google Drive is available via a smart phone or tablet.
