I've created a customer Outlook form will most of the fields I need. I used
the contact form as my template - and modified it from there.

I need it to be stored in a public folder so that other users all have
access to the same information.

Publish the contact form to the public folder and make it the default for that folder. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=34 and http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=39.

I need to be able to record "Lead" data & save it to the "Lead" folder.
I also want to be able to email the lead or form to another employee. I'm
not sure how that would be done unless I use the email form as my template to
begin with.

Send a link to the item. Create a new rich-text format message, choose Insert | Item and select the option to create a link to the item.

I also want to be able to setup a reminder for each lead. Once a certain
amount of time has passed, a reminder window will appear notifying the person
who recorded the lead to follow up with the salesperson who the lead was
emailed to.

Not possible with a custom form alone. It would take an add-in installed on each user's machine. What you can do with a form is flag the items. They'll turn red in the standard folder views when the flag date/time is passed.
