How should I objectively inspect a used bike with a carbon frame to make sure the frame has not been structurally damaged? Are there obvious places I should be examining? Where and how should I evaluate the frame?

Look at any chips in the clearcoat to ascertain if they go deep enough to the fibers themselves. I'v bought several used rames, but only from people I know and trust.
