Answer 1

Magento defaulty create an unique handler on basic of product type on product details page.

It Logic like ::PRODUCT_TYPE_TypeId

So for group product it create handler PRODUCT_TYPE_grouped

<PRODUCT_TYPE_grouped>  
       <reference name="root">
            <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
        </reference>
 </PRODUCT_TYPE_grouped>

just add this code at local.xml or catalog.xml on your theme layout folder

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<!-- add this ...... -->
<PRODUCT_TYPE_grouped>  
       <reference name="root">
            <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
        </reference>
 </PRODUCT_TYPE_grouped>
<!-- add this ...... -->
</layout>
