I remember starting Majora's Mask, loving every minute of it, then having to go off to college and leave the N64 at home with the family. Now that I'm done, and my younger siblings have long since broken our N64, is there a way for me to restart (and finish!) my adventures on the PC?

You can only save "at will" once you've got the sword or ocarina.
If you have the sword you can slash at an owl statue to quick save.
If you have the ocarina, play the "Song of Time" which will send you back to the first day. This will do a full save, but does lose all your money and ammo.
However doing this will result in undoing some side quests, like :
giving red potion to the witch
killing snow temple boss again for spring. etc
There are several "theories" about the timeline of the Zelda franchise, and all do make sense in their own ways. The interesting thing to note is that the timeline actually splits after Ocarina of Time.
Nintendo actually did release an official timeline for the Zelda franchise:
However, some believe that this is incorrect, and a different timeline has been created, though this is... just a game theory...
But to answer your question: "Where does MM fit into the timeline?" It is a direct sequel to OoT (by direct I mean it is one of the games that occurs directly after the events of OoT).
