Checking availability of invited attendees when creating an invitation
I believe if the invitee, if internal to the same company you're from, has been set to be hidden from the GAL you will not see them at all, let alone see their availability. Also possible is you don't have permissions on your mailbox to do so with any other contact? (not likely and reaching on that last one I'm certain).
I'll activate yet never considered those steps as I mostly attend meetings not create them - least of all from BB10/BBOS prior.
- Checking availability of invited attendees when creating an invitation
Yes. Look under the start/end time and press Availability.
EDIT: Seems like it requires Exchange 2010.
- Open an invite to a meeting and view in calendar before accept/decline
Just checked and could not find that option.
It does however warn you if the appointment is adjacent or conflicting with an existing appointment and you can see that appointment directly on the invite screen.
- Open an invite to a meeting and propose a new time
Not possible as far as I can tell.

Checking Availability of Invited Attendees DOES in fact work with BES10 EMM-Balance + Exchange Server 2007; I've just tried it and haven't gone live with Exchange 2013.
As well as "Open an invite to a meeting and propose a new time" works BES10+Exchange 2007 ; just select Edit ... set new time/date for occurence or series and save. Your host will receive the new appointment and accept to update all parties or choose not too - completely up to them. Now for meeting rooms that confirm bookings ... you're the host it should work but I have no idea on resources like rooms adjusting/exempting new times/dates.
