Can I use the new fancy compiler stuff like Lambdas with QT? Does it still require a meta compiler?

Lambdas can be used e.g. with the new signal-slot syntax [1]. And yes, Qt uses the meta compiler, and it's hopefully going to stay that way as moc has a clear positive impact both on features and speed [2].

Yes, you can use C++ 11 features with Qt.

In Qt 5.4 I had to add

CONFIG += c++11

to the .pro file.

I haven't used it, but it seems Qt 5.5 supports C++ 14.

You could use C++14 with Qt4 if you wanted. Your choice of standard doesn't really affect Qt much.
