I figured out 2).  The groups without .mrk files were at level 5, and
my set-up only has gnus update groups at level <= 3 by default.  
Doing `5 g' created all the .mrk files.

I'm still curious why my nnfolder groups come with various servers:
"nnfolder:", (nnfolder "") and "archive".  What's the difference
between these?  Can they be unified?  Is there a problem keeping them
separate?  All the files are stored in one directory, and my server
buffer only shows one nnfolder server.  A group created by moving an
article to a non-existent group is created with the "archive" server.
