After a couple hours of reading, I've set my Lightroom and Photoshop working space to ProPhoto RGB, which seems to be the consensus for editing work, even though my monitor is only capable of sRGB. From what I gather, these settings, combined with Perceptual Intent, will provide better control of color clipping and the effects may be apparent even after sRGb conversion.
Version 4 ICC profiles can contain enough information for a color space to color space conversion using a perceptual rendering intent, but I know of no current apps that take advantage of that. There may be exceptions, but generally any conversion from ProPhotoRGB to sRGB will be done colormetrically. You can check the Perceptual box all you like, but it ain't gonna happen.
Version 2 ICC profiles for working color spaces do not contain the perceptual, colorimetric, or saturation lookup tables. They are simple matrix based profiles, with RGB coordinates, white point, and gamma. Without the two perceptual tables, input to PCS (profile connection space) and PCS to output space, there is no way any color management system can use a perceptual rendering.

For images I want to put on the web, I'm looking for an easy way to convert to a sRGB jpeg from Photoshop and dump the file into the original folder. The closest thing I've found is "Export/Save for Web (legacy)", but it forces you to navigate to the target folder. Does anyone know way to set the original folder as the default when exporting or saving a sRGB jpeg?
I don't know about CC, but CS6 and previous versions, simply Convert (Edit, Convert to Profile) to sRGB, and do a Save As, and that should automatically take you to the same folder as the original (at least running under Win).

One other question ... I'm assuming RAW files have no color space assigned until they are imported into ACR or Lightroom. Is that correct?
Yes

The links provided were a little hazy on that.
Well, that would be two other questions, but ...
