Whenever I drag a layer or group from the Layers panel into the Libraries panel, it opens up a Save As window to save the layer or group as a PNG. How do I stop this? Thanks!

If you don't want the Save As shows up you must drag from the canvas not from Layer panel.
Select assets in layer panel then select the move tool then with the move tool drag from your canvas to the library.
See below the explanation from helpx.adobe.com (not really clear...)

However I'm having trouble doing this with groups (folder-icon groups, not just multiple selected layers). Is that possible?

By the way I found this old discussion about Library drag and drop feature...
