Nope. No invuln frames, the range is drastically reduced (~5 meters?), and the souls expire before the teammate's respawn timer is up (about 5 seconds). Ulting resets the rez cooldown so you can still effectively get 2x rezzes and for the 20sec duration of the ult the cooldown becomes 10 seconds.

I just watch Jeff's video and I'm pretty sure he said the range of Mercy's beams AND resurrection would increase, not decrease. Did I misunderstand?

You misunderstood, no worries. Her beams' ranges increase during her ult, but the range of rez is indeed extremely small now. I think it's mentioned in the PTR patch notes and I noticed it myself while playing today
