http://keepass.info/ seems to always pop up when folk ask but it appears you want a few more features.

Have you seen any app do that?

Passkeeper (PC), very old but works. Does everything but generate the random passwords.
Secure Password Vault for Kindle fire, does everything it seems like. new to it.

I have been using Roboform and Roboform anywhere for more than three years with no issues other than compatibility issue with Chrome and Firefox. Those issues have been solved. I highly recommend you look into this one. They have a free version that you can try first. www.roboform.com.
