I've got a groovymame + CRT set up, but have yet to try LaunchBox. Really I want to run at 320x240p; does LB go that low?

1) Do I need GroovyMAME to use CRTemudriver? In short - not compulsory. But if you have a CRT, then you'd want to use GM purely because it's the best way to make the games run on a real CRT. whatever version of mame you end up using - that "just makes the games work". You will need a front end to make it usable without a keyboard and mouse - in your example this would be LaunchBox. I use https://sourceforge.net/projects/attractmode as a front end. Big problem with most front ends (including Hyperspin) is getting them to run at low enough resolution to be usable at 15khz. You're probably going to want to run 320x240p - it's not easy to find front ends these days that are designed to go that low. HTH
