What happens before main()?
Construction of static objects defined at the namespace

Perhaps.

crt0.lib or
something like that comes to mind (surely I have the
source code to that given that I have a number of
compilers (some very old) but I'd rather get some
rough idea first of what's happening there). Is it just
setting up an environment in which the C++ library
will work?
Yes. Probably. In your system, that is.

What happens from the time a program
is started (typing the name on the command line and
pressing enter, for example) until it starts initializing
application program objects and then ending up at main()?
That's up to the hosting environment and beyond the scope
of this newsgroup.
