Check how you get to the trailhead. The larger clubs organise carpools or a bus from a set meeting point in the city, which is the difference between a hike you can join without a car and one you cannot. Smaller groups meet at the trailhead.
Most clubs rate their hikes by difficulty, distance and elevation gain, and post the rating with each outing. Start one rating below what you think you can do, because the pace of a group hike is set by the leader, not by you.
Some of these are conservation and trail-maintenance organisations that also hike. Those tend to charge an annual membership, run the most outings, and carry insurance. Casual meetup-style groups are free and looser.

Yes. Most clubs rate each outing by difficulty, distance and elevation gain, and run easy-rated hikes. Pick one rating below what you think you can manage, since the pace is set by the group.
No. This page is free to browse and every group links out to its own signup. The app matters once a group runs its own chat and calendar on Culdesac.
Each group gets a chat and a calendar. You join the event, you're already talking before you show up.
