こむ means "into", especially in the sense of "diving" or "sinking". It's usually a separate entry, though, unlike 出す. 入り込む, のめり込む, 考えこむ, etc.

かける is, as you said, very idiomatic, but the most general is "to do something halfway". 死にかける is a good example of this, and one of the most common (another is ～しかける). As a verb on its own it also means many things, from "to lay a trap" to "to dial a phone number".
