No, nn performs the auto-selection on a per-group basis immediately
before it is going to present that group to the user.  Consenquently,
it does not know which groups have auto-selected articles in them in advance.

On the other hand, automatically skipping groups without auto-selected
articles in them would be possible (future feature), but how should
this work "logically"?

That is not necessary.  When you are presented with the first menu
page of the group, just hit "X".  That will start reading of the
(auto-)selected articles immediately, and skip all non-selected articles.
When you have read the (auto-)selected articles, nn will mark the
group as read, and continue with the next group.  If no articles were
auto-selected, "X" will simply mark the group as read and continue
with the next group.

No.  And the "method" you indicate will not work either; the order of
groups is not dependent on the rc file, only the "sequence" in the
init file.  And the init file is only read on start-up, so you can't
even suspend nn, edit init, and then continue.  However, this is one
of the planned features of 6.4.
