Is it normal at Microsoft for the first screening interview to be with a hiring manager before you even talk to the recruiter?

Can’t speak for the whole company, but that was the case when I interviewed about a month or two ago. Initial screening was with the hiring manager and then had another round later. From what I gathered, recruiting styles and interviews tend to vary by the team within Microsoft. All the best!
