Answer 1

I haven't heard of this in SharePoint. It would be doable with some customizations, but not out of the box. SharePoint is designed to take your AD groups into SharePoint, and utilize them within security. It won't sync the members of a AD group to a SP group. That's a little redundant.

What's your requirement for this functionality?

I can think of one circumstance in which you would need to sync an AD group to a sharepoint group. It is a fact that a people picker can ONLY use a Sharepoint group on which to filter on. If you have an existing AD group that is used for security purposes in a Sharepoint farm and also want to use this same group for a people picker control then you cannot accomplish that without some kind of intermediary customization (like the ability to sync an ad group membership to that of a sharepoint group.
