Great!

Sounds good, yes.

Sounds good.

The main hurdle is storage, and decisions like whether or not to make 
groups just a set of object ids, or to have them be just email addresses, 
or to copy all information (I'd nix this option, but the other two are 
valid, and might co-exist); whether to allow groups to have contacts from 
multiple sources, etc.

Feel free to use the Category:: framework to store groups, if that makes 
sense.
