You shouldn't need to re-define PageStore with that same definition.
Instead, you should use array_splice to add your shared PageStore as
the second entry in $WikiLibDirs.

Yes. The place where this is determined is the WritePage function in
pmwiki.php. If you want to change how it works, you'll need to edit
pmwiki.php directly, as this isn't parameterised. Try something like
the following (haven't tested this, though...):

in WritePage, at about line 1013, replace the following:

  if ($i >= count($WikiLibDirs)) $wd = &$WikiDir;

with:

  if ($i >= count($WikiLibDirs)) {
    $grouphome = MakePageName($pagename,
      preg_replace('#[^/.]+$#', '', $pagename));
    for($i=0; $i<count($WikiLibDirs); ++$i) {
      $wd = &$WikiLibDirs[$i];
      if ($wd->iswrite && $wd->exists($grouphome)) break;
    }
    if ($i >= count($WikiLibDirs)) $wd = &$WikiDir;
  }

ResolvePageName should only be called to resolve the $pagename of the
actual page being viewed. It has side effects in some cases, eg.
forcing a redirect to a corrected page name or returning a 404. To
test or resolve an arbitrary string to a page name, the function you
should use is MakePageName.

And could you clarfiy what you mean by testing for groupname?
