I wonder if there is some sort of retention time for calendar items in
Outlook. Our CEO has items in his calendar that go back to May of this year,
but everything before that is gone. Is there a setting where this can be
changed, and if items do drop off the calendar after while, can they be
recovered?

The calendar retention time normally is infinite, unless you have
autoarchive enabled for the folder. If you do, the missing items should be
in the archive PST.

autoarchiving, but I am not quote sure how to dearchive the calendar items.

Open the archive PST (File>Open>Outlook Data File) and copy the items back
from the calendar in that PST to the person's default calendar.
