When I receive text messages from a group, people are identified by their initials. Does that happen automatically when I send a group message or do I need to set that up?

That will happen automatically - except:

If a person is in your Contacts and you have a photo identifying her/him, and you set Settings > Messages > Show Contact Photos = “on”, that photo will appear instead of initials.
