It's not random, Google have been regularly throttling the number of
signups to smooth out the process. I still have lots of invites to
give away (and I know plenty of other people do too), so if you get an
invite and it doesn't work just wait a few hours and try again.
There're plenty of rumours that G+ will be opened up completely very,
very soon (within days type soon).
Yes, sharing on email with someone who is not on Google+ works as
described, and will continue to do so. That is a separate mechanism to
the invite function. If you do get a post shared with you on email,
the best thing to do is click on the link at the bottom that says
"click here for more information" (or similar), which should take you
directly to a signup page.
This isn't the same as Wave, where they were really stingy with
invites and rolled it out really slowly. This is happening fast, which
I think is great, but they're still being careful to throttle the tide
a little to make sure features don't break.
Just be patient :)
