To answer both your concerns, here's how GroupMe works:
You create a group you want to message.
GroupMe creates a special phone number for that group.
When you send a text message to that number, it goes to the group.
GroupMe allows you to set names for each person in your group instead of listing their numbers, so conversations will look like a chat room like this:
Ted: Immortals tonight?
Kathy: I heard it sucks.
Ken: What about Paranormal Activity?
Ted: Sure. Paranormal it is.
Kathy: I think it starts at 9. See you all there at 8:45.
If you don't have a name listed then it'll show the phone number instead.
The tradeoff is that the recipients don't see it coming directly from your phone number nor can they see all the recipients in the group, but IMO the GroupMe method wins for everything else.
