But [Objects > Selectors & CSS] might help you. You can select all the objects in a selection set regardless of the layer and group structure. This includes locked and invisible layers.
An easy method of work regarding the task is to place something - known as an empty in Blender etc - on each of your layers. Work on the lowest layer in your stack. After doing your grouping, you can relayer your stack by - ungroup your new item - select each individual component - group it to the empties in your layer stack as appropriate. Remember, all regrouping goes up to the highest level chosen. If you are working on a bottom or lowest layer - and group to a higher level item - the entire new group will deposit on that higher level. This is a time consuming process, but it is probably the most efficient.

You can however nest layers inside layers by dragging and dropping in the layer panel.
You can also turn layers to groups and groups to layers.
No, there is no way to keep layers when grouping.
