Have you looked at webforms module? That's an easy way to create  
customized contact forms, etc.

As for accessing that page you have, double-check the access  
controls. Also, if you have the contact module enabled, each member  
should have a contact tab on their profile (although members must opt  
in for this).

I've not tried it yet, but I believe you can do this in 4.7 using  
Block Bar. http://drupal.org/node/36373

You can control visibility according to user role by using some php  
code. In 4.6  you would put it into the block itself, in 4.7 there's  
a separate area for php controlling visibility.
