The invitation to interview emails are written and signed by a single person (a director of admissions, for example), but the interview invitation email is usually sent from the school's primary admissions email address, something like [email protected]. So if you just hit reply, that person will probably never see your thank your email.

Is it appropriate to find the person's (the person who signed the email) email address on the school's website and then send them a short thank you email for the invitation to interview?

I don't see this as necessary. Just send your interviewers a thank you email afterward.

You'll be showing your gratitude by showing up to the interview. If you are declining the interview, I would try to do so over the phone first and send an email to confirm.

Don't do it. @Goro hit the nail on the head (and made me LOL).
