If I set up a series of recurring meeting, and set invitations to be sent 1
week prior to each meeting, when I press "send", are the invitations for the
future meeting all sent out immediately, or are they postponed and sent
automatically at the assigned date prior to each future meeting date and time?

The meeting is sent out with all recurrences already loaded so if the
recipient accepts, all instances of the meeting are added to the calendar at
once.

Is there a way to enter recurring future meetings, with a notification
specification, so that the notiifications are delayed in send out until the
specified time prior to each meeting?  For example, if the meetings are
regular monthly meeting (say, the second Thursday of each month) and
invitations are to be sent five days prior to the meeting, so that when I
enter the recurring series today (Feb 18) the noification for the March
meeting is sent 5 days prior to the March meeting, not now; the invitation
for the April meeting is sent 5 days prior to the April Meeting, not now; and
so on, across the entire span of the recurring meetings?

That seems to be the way it works for me.  I have a recurring weekly meeting
and the reminders pop up on my desktop five minutes before the meeting each
week.

What Brian said.

You can always set the reminder in your original invitation for a 5 day
before reminder.  Simply type 5d in the reminder window.
