Is there anyway to tell outlook which calendar to consider the "main"
calendar?

Your default calendar (and ALL your other default folders are included as
well) is _always_ the calendar in the data store marked as "default" on
Tools?>Account Settings>Data Files.

The gottcha there is "THE calendar in the...". I have more than one
calendar in the default data store. If I use some calendar I've added
or a subfolder calendar it doesn't behave the same as the "main"
calendar. If I create an event and send invites it does track the
responses the way it would if it had been made in the "main" calendar.
If I receive an invite and accept it it goes into my "main" calendar
even if I would rather use another. So if I could just tell outlook
which calendar it should treat as "main" I think I would have it
licked. I use a calendar sharing system that leaves the default
calendar as a personal calendar and makes subcalendars that you share,
and the calendars of others you have permission to see become
subcalendars. So I need to make my shared subcalendar the "main".

Only the calendar folder named "Calendar" in the default data store is the
dfault calendar. You can't have more than one or designate another folder as
the default.

By design. If you want to save an event in another calnedar, click File>Move
to Folder instead of clicking Accept. Or, click Accept, then move the item to
the other calendar folder.

Not possible.
