Is it possible to set the netbook (Win8 64 bit) to go to sleep sometime after AC power is disconnected and to wake up immediately once the AC power is re-connected? Thanks!

You could get it to sleep by setting the power options to sleep when battery is 95%.

Not sure about waking - you could schedule a task that woke the computer from sleep but only ran if AC power was found. It seems that you the minimum time the task can be scheduled is every 5 minutes so it is not really waking immediately.

Presumably you can't press the power button?

That would not be a good idea IMHO because you would be draining your battery in sleep mode and the continual charge/discharge cycle could shorten your battery life.
