Do they apply to pets in your group?
In other words... do they get added defense, run faster over hills, have states cleared etc.?
Also, if I group a pet (npc pet/droid/ch pet) and leave it in the city, and then go out to hunt, are my group bonuses still applied as long as I'm leader, or does a range come into play?

i dont think pets and droids will benefit, but factionals might. i use them rarely so i could be mistaken.
if you group your pet and leave him/it in town then go hunt you should get the benefits from being in a group (passive mods, rally, etc). it works on distance from the group leader. and since you have a range of 0, you get the mods.
unless of course, i'm a total n00b and a dullard

I was considering using this with CH, if they could get the +15 damage from volley fire.

Take a look here. I've done some testing and also included it on droids, should answer most of your questions.
On the rest of your questions:
- If you group with your droid and leave it in town, you yourself still get all the boni from SL and can use the team-based abilities. I consider this as an exploit, though.
- Droids and creatures seem not to receive the passive bonuses (terrain negotiation, group defense), as far as i saw. I didn't test this specifically, though, so i can be wrong
- Formupbefore CU didn't affect droids, after CU i didn't manage to get my droid stunned yet. But i assume that it still doesn't work with droids and creatures.
