The correct format is your second one -- i.e.:

   $RecentChangesFmt['Main.LastChanged'] = '* [-[[$Group/$Name]]-]  ';

Note that this doesn't change the format of existing RecentChanges
entries, just any new ones that are added to the page.

No, but you can eliminate the per-group RecentChanges pages and simply
have an AllRecentChanges page.  You can also get every non-existent
RecentChanges page to default to AllRecentChanges:

    if (substr($pagename, -14) == '.RecentChanges') 
      $DefaultPageTextFmt = '(:include Main.AllRecentChanges:)';
