1) How do I make Gnus automatically change the address in the From:
line for all compose commands, based on which group is currently
active?
2) How do I make BBDB ignore all messages in certain groups?
(I have looked through the manual but can't find anything relevant.)

Look at the section on "Posting styles" in the manual.

I'm using something like this, which someone provided me with a long
time ago; perhaps there is a better way?
(setq gnus-select-group-hook
'(lambda ()
(setq bbdb/news-auto-create-p
(and
(string-match "^nnml:" gnus-newsgroup-name)
(not (or (string-match "^nnml:spam" gnus-newsgroup-name)
(string-match "^nnml:virus" gnus-newsgroup-name)))))))
Best regards,
Adam

You can use group parameters to set bbdb/news-auto-create-p variable
in certain groups.
(info "(gnus)Group Parameters")
| `(VARIABLE FORM)'
| You can use the group parameters to set variables local to the
| group you are entering. If you want to turn threading off in
| `news.answers', you could put `(gnus-show-threads nil)' in the
| group parameters of that group. `gnus-show-threads' will be made
| into a local variable in the summary buffer you enter, and the
| form `nil' will be `eval'ed there.

This doesn't work for BBDB variables. The local setting takes hold in
the summary buffer, but doesn't get propagated to the article buffer,
and I think that's where BBDB is looking for it.

See variable gnus-newsgroup-variables.

Thanks, these both seem to work. Well,
bbdb-quiet-about-name-mismatches doesn't do what it's documented to
do, but that's much less of an issue. (I receive a lot of mail from
one particular address that changes its alleged full name every single
time - I'd like bbdb never to record this address - still can't figure
out how to achieve that.)

I see in my configuration that I've set it to zero. Don't know why,
though.

This might be a little more drastic that what you want, but I have
these settings to quiet bbdb down about lots of stuff.
(setq bbdb-quiet-about-name-mismatches t)
(setq bbdb-silent-running t)
(setq bbdb/mail-auto-create-p nil)
(setq bbdb/news-auto-create-p nil)
(setq bbdb-always-add-addresses 'never)
