Does anyone know where I can download a font which has tironian notae and punctus elevatus?

Junicode has both: http://www.engl.virginia.edu/OE/junicode/junicode.html

In a similar vein, is there a record type font/character set available - as used in some older works to try to convey the contractions and similar features of Latin script in print, and used in the publications of the Pipe Roll Society?

Junicode has some Latin abbreviations; I regularly ask people for suggestions about additional abbreviations they'd like to see added. MUFI (Medieval Unicode Font Initiative) is also open to such suggestions (I can convey requests to the group). My own feeling is that I can't copy everything in Capelli into a font, but I've got to hear from users what would be most useful to them. I've already put in the ones most useful to me.

The MUFI Project website (http://helmer.aksis.uib.no/mufi/) has links to sites of font designers and digital typographers working on fonts with medieval glyphs.
They're at The font page (http://helmer.aksis.uib.no/mufi/fonts.html) but it might be interesting to check out the whole project.
We are currently working on a first proposal of medieval characters (or characters for medievalists) to be presented to the Unicode Consortium.

In addition to Junicode, you might look at GaramondLatin: http://web.syr.edu/~dhmills/caes/ClassicalFonts.html
There are also some useful glyphs in 1520GaramondArchaics. I no longer remember whence I acquired it and it doesn't show up on Google. Does anyone know? ACaslon AltRegular has a long s and some ligatures (fl, ft, etc.) that looks good with Times New Roman, and not much else.
