Is there a setting so that when an Outlook meeting invitation is accepted the invitation is not automatically removed from the Inbox? I often accept invitations and then realize that I needed some information about them. It would make it easier if they stayed in the Inbox and behaved more like everything else in the Inbox.

The only option I know could control the meeting invitation deletion behavior is what you have mentioned: Delete meeting requests and notifications from Inbox after responding. According on my testing, when this option is unchecked, the meeting invitation should be deleted after responding. Maybe you can try creating a new Outlook mail profile and set up your email account in the new profile, and then see whether this issue continues.
Besides, if possible, try set up the email account on another computer and see whether the issue follows the account.
If you can see the meeting on iPhone or web mail, you’ve succeeded to accept the meeting, but it is invisible on Outlook for mac.
This could be related with corrupted view. Can you see your appointments if we switch to other view? Try switching between the Day/Work Week/Week/Month view.
See if all Categories is selected:
Please also go to Preferences > General, make sure the "Hide On My Computer folders" option is unchecked.
If none of this helps, then create a new profile: Manage profiles or identities in Outlook for Mac
