Some hydroxides (aluminium and zinc, for example) do react with sodium hydroxide because they are amphoteric. Calcium hydroxide is purely basic, and not amphoteric.

You would not get a "new" product. Even if the calcium (from the calcium hydroxide) reacted with the hydroxide (from the sodium hydroxide) you would just get the same thing - calciium hydroxide.
