I am looking for some information on lock screen icons in iOS. The icon type I am referring to is the small one in the lower left corner.
Also mentioned in this article: blog.estimote.com/post/97824495825/ios-8-pushes-location-context-to-a-new-level-lock
My two main questions are:
Does anyone know what size this icon should be delivered at?
Is this delivered as an independent icon or does iOS create this icon based on your home screen icon.
I have been looking online for information all morning and can't find any guidelines.

I believe it's the same size icon that is used in settings and all other notification popups.
The dimensions for these icon are:
@3x = 87px x 87px @2x = 58px x 58px @1x = 29px x 29px
And as @Cai has stated above you can see these dimensions here, under the file names (Icon-Small.png, Icon-Small@2x.png, Icon-Small@3x.png).

I can't find any reference to which exact size icon is used, but it looks like one of the smaller app icons. You can find info on the different app icons you can supply with an app on the apple developer library here and here.
iOS should use the closest appropriate sized icon you supply, and if no smaller icon is available it will shrink the home screen icon as you said.
From the iOS Human Interface Guidelines:
iOS chooses an icon based on whether its size is appropriate for the intended usage
and
If you don’t provide these icons, iOS might shrink your app icon
