I’m a bit frustrated that there doesn’t seem to be an advantage to grouping objects in Blender.
–The group isn’t showing in the Outliner… I’d expect the objects to nest with each other, so is there another place to select the group because…
–When scaling, grabbing or rotating, why doesn’t the entire group respond as one piece?
What am I missing here?

In the outliner window you need to change to Groups in the dropdown list.

Select the whole group or you may want to look at parenting/child relationships rather then groups

From the wiki:
Use groups to just logically organize your scene, or to facilitate one-step appending or linking between files or across scenes. Objects that are part of a group always shows as light green when selected; see image (Grouped objects). You can mix any kind of objects in a same group.
Grouped objects are also used in object duplication in dupligroups or in particle systems
