I agree with the above, another option is if you have a lag site, to mark the replica of the remote DC that hasn't recieved the latest deletion as authoritative, and replicate back.

There are a few ways you can recover a Deleted Object.

once recovered you probably should set the Object to not be deleted by setting Protec Obejct from accidental deletion

LDP.exe can be used and this is in the link I posted under manual restore.
This will require no down time.

Does ADRestore.net restore the group memberships of the deleted user objects? I dont think so...
When an object is deleted then only few importand attributes remain untouched. Meaning that a lot of information gets lost. This information can you recover only with a restore.

I would look into using LDP.exe to manually change the attributte.
Again it depends what kind of and how many objects you used to have in the OU that has been accidentaly deleted. In case you need to restore ALL the information (for example the group memberships of the users), there are only three ways to achieve this
1) Restore from a system state backup
2) Mark a GC that hasnt got the deletion yet as authoritative using ntdsutil.
3) Upgrade to 2008 and make use of the recycle bin feature.
