You can enable "Alexa, find my phone" by installing the skill and android/ios app called "Trackr"

Once it is set up, you can say, "Alexa, tell Trackr to find my phone", which will tell you the address your phone was last seen. You can also say, "Alexa, tell Trackr to ring my phone", which will make your phone ding even if it is on silent.

The "Help! I've fallen and can't get up!" functionality can be had by installing the "Ask My Buddy" skill, which will let you designate emergency contacts which you can notify by voice.

It's not chinese food, but both Dominos and Pizza Hut now have Alexa skills available which will let you order by voice, as well.

I strongly suspect that the Chinese food problem is going to be solved by Amazon restaurants once it gains more areas and traction. Since they have the menus already they can handle the entire ordering process.

In the UK, Just Eat has an Alexa skill - they're one of two major "takeaway aggregators" here.
