Answer 1

In the SharePoint Desinger workflow you can add Collect data from user action and assign it to a group.

when the workflow start, it creates a task for approval, once a user goes in and approves the task then it goes to the next step, create the next task there.

Answer 2

Hi,

According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to

By design in SharePoint Designer Approval workflow, the workflow will be completed until all users approve the tasks.

To assign task to a group, you need to:

1. Create a workflow and add action: Start Approval Process.
2. Click these user, select the Group, change One or a time(serial) to All at onec(paralle).
3. Right click the action, select Properties, click ExpandGroups, change No to Yes.
4. Then you can assign task to each member of the group.

To complete the task action once a user approve the task, you need to:

1. Click Approval.
2. Go to change the completion conditions for  this task process  page.
3. Delete the condition and Task Process: Active Task Count equals 0.

Then if a user in spgroup1 approve the task, the workflow will go to stage2.
