That is how the PYTHONPATH and import mechanism work in Python. You add a
path and it makes packages/modules accessible below that point, with their
namespaces rooted to the PYTHONPATH. Example:
PYTHONPATH=myRootPath
myRootPath/
|- foo
|- foo2
|- bar
|- baz
Then you can do the following imports:
import foo
import foo2
import foo2.bar.baz
from foo2.bar import baz

Not sure where you found information suggesting this would work the way you

Yes, the Maya.env gets read when Maya starts up. If you change it, you need
to restart Maya.
What is your intended workflow that you are trying to solve? What kind of
imports are you trying to access that require some kind of recursive
appending to the PYTHONPATH? Can you make use of the namespaced imports
like I suggested earlier, to access nested packages?
If you are trying to dynamically update the PYTHONPATH within a running
Maya session, then you would need to update the values of sys.path
import sys
print sys.path
