Regarding your first question, "orient" and "orientate" are both in common use though the latter is still not accepted by some (the English language is still evolving as are some of its users).
Regarding your second question, consider this:
"Attendees" are oriented if they know who they are, where there are, and what day it is.
"
Orientees" are oriented by attending an orientation.
Just a suggestion while on the subject of made up words!
