Contacts folders can also be given ACLs and thus be used to model
a contact database for a group of people.

Something different are the LDAP based "addresses", which you have also

Now to your expectations:

Should work this way, if you only have our own contact folders and
the others configured as LDAP addresses.

No, you can invite any email address.
You will only get a freebusy list if you can access this for the email
address, but that does not keep you from sending out the invitation.

Which client are you using.
My KDE Kolab Client (tested Kontact proko2 right now) does this correctly
and will also give me the LDAP results as potential completion if I start
typing in the invitation dialog.
