most recent 1. The companies were at the bargaining table twice before, most recently last year. What does "most recently last year" mean? Does it mean "the most recent meeting happened in last year"? Or, both two meetings happened in last year? If the latter is correct, why did it use "most recent"?

In this sentence most recently means the most recent meeting happened in last year which is the same as saying the last meeting happened in last year. I think the sentence is grammatically correct but sounds unnatural so I would say it like this "The companies were at the bargaining table twice before, the most recent one was in last year"
