Will Microsoft Edge use prefixes like -webkit-
, -ms-
, or its own new prefix for future functions? Something like -me-
, perhaps?

If the CSS tag is a web standard already accepted by all browsers, there is no need to add a prefix for it. Otherwise, if you want to use CSS tags that target experimental features by browsers then you will need to include the -ms vendor prefix for that functionality to work on Microsoft Edge similar to adding -webkit for that tag to work on Chrome.

A detailed list of WebKit properties supported in Microsoft Edge is available here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt270097%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
tl;dr: Yes and No
Existing prefixed properties that are hugely popular will remain until they have native support, but Microsoft Edge will not be introducing a new prefix system for features. Instead, they'll use feature flags (like Chrome and Firefox for experimental features on the client side, rather than the developer side).
