The ical->org export only uses the native org timestamps, so only the
simplest recurring events will work. E.g. 'every Friday between 2pm and
3pm', or 'every other Monday'.
Things as 'third Monday every month' are indeed doable using the diary
sexp timestamps. I've been looking into this some months ago, and I
couldn't find any way to specify a time with such a timestamp. Couldn't
do 'third Monday every month, at 10am', I was only able to generate
all-day events this way. Could be I was doing it wrong, if anybody knows
how to do it, I'll be happy to hear about it.
The sheer amount of possibilities/combinations supported by the ical
format kept me from even trying to generate the diary sexps. Looked like
a lot of work with uncertain results...

The ical event contains a list of attendees, so that should be possible.
