Take a good look at TN3270 by Peter DeCamillo, Brown University.  This is
a *very* good 3270 IP based telnet.  It can do all the popular variations
of 3270's (I use Mod 3B, 32x80), complete color control, and even 3270
graphics (I regularly capture SAS images for "cleanup").
 
It is available via anonymous FTP from brownvm.brown.edu.  I'm sure this
won't be the only recommendation you get for this gem. 
 
There are other app's readily available to do the rest of the functions
you mention, albeit I'm not aware any "one" application that does it all.
 It would probably be a monster!!!!
