If a directory object is in the Recycled state, can you still restore it using the AD Recycle Bin?

No. If an object is in the Recycled state, its deleted object lifetime has expired. The object is still in the Deleted Objects container, but because most of its attributes have been stripped away you can no longer recover it by restoring it from the AD Recycle Bin.
