With Luchessi, I believe that WAS a suicide mission, and Calo deliberately did it to avenge Don Tomassino. Calo probably didn't care if he got killed or not; all he wanted was vengeance ("Blood cries for blood" or whatever he said).
I think we have a consensus on why Rocco sacrificed himself.
As for Luchese, wanethegame is correct. Recall when the news of Don Tomassino's death reached Michael, he was in the dining room making nice with Kay, and Calo was beside himself. After he said "blood cries for blood" michael told him that one day he would need a service. Calo was 100% loyal to Don Tomassino and was more than happy to give his life to avenge the assination of his boss.
