For non-grouped items vs groups:

var groupNo = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < selection.length; i++) {
  if (selection[i].typename == "GroupItem") {
    groupNo = groupNo + 1;
  }
}
var nonGroupNo = selection.length - groupNo;
alert("Non-grouped items: " + nonGroupNo + "\
Groups: " + groupNo + "\
Non-grouped items + groups: " + selection.length);

With the objects selected, right-click select Collect for Export/As Multiple Assets. The Asset Export panel will display each asset numbered.

    The Document Info > Objects that pixxxel recommended will show you the total number of objects. It will not tell you the number of groups. Each object in each group will be counted.
