If you use the "regular" forward, with the message in the body text, you
want to "set forward_weed=no". Alternatively, if you want the forwarded
message to appear as an attachement, you should use mime_forward
("set mime_forward=yes" or possibly ask-yes), in that case full headers
will be included.

This isn't supported, and I don't see why it should be really? Bcc: is
normally used only for special cases, at least for me. But anyway, if I
needed to do the above, I'd choose group reply, and then edit the
message with headers, and change To: into Bcc: in the editor.
If you want to automate this process, it's possible too, though not
exactly simple. First, create a script that takes an input file and
changes the To: and Cc: headers into a Bcc: one (possibly only if the
Bcc: header is empty, but that's up to you), then runs your editor on
it. Then create a macro in Mutt that changes your $editor setting into
executing that script instead of your editor, then invokes the
group-reply function, and finally resets the $editor value.
This way you have your specialized macro which acts as
group-reply-as-bcc and still retain the old group-reply functionality
too.

I don't know about you, but I already see (eg.) "3 tag" in the status
line in the message index, when I have any tagged messages. I use this
(should be one long line):
set status_format="Mutt: %f %r [%?M?%M/?%m msgs, %?n?%n new, ?%?u?%u unread, ?%?d?%d
del, ?%?F?%F flag, ?%?t?%t tag ?%l] (%s)%> [%?p?%p post, ?%b incoming]"
And yes, tagging is the method you want, for selecting multiple messages
with pattern matching...
Hope these helped,
