Answer 1

Search with the search bar for the invitation on your email but if you don't find it access the following link:

https://console.cloud.google.com/invitation?project=[your-project-id]&account=[the-account-email-invited]&memberEmail=[the-account-email-invited]

Answer 2

I tested it on my end and I am experiencing the same issue. When granting a role to a user, the user will not receive an invitation email, unless he is granted a “Project Owner” role.

However, upon reading the GCP documentation [1], I do see that it's working as intended.

"To allow team members to access a project's resources and APIs, project owners can grant IAM roles to users. You can grant a role to a user using the GCP Console, the gcloud command-line tool, or the setIamPolicy() method. When you set a policy or add a binding to grant a role to a user, they won't receive an invite email. Instead, the user's access is updated directly." [1]

Answer 3

A workaround can be add as owner than change permission. (Not tested)

In my case the project was hidden under No organization > All.
