Quite often I have a design in which I have an html item with
another html item right below it. If for some reason I expand the
first item–add a few lines of text, for example–it will overlap the
one below it. I have to go down and move that item. Is there a way
I can make the top item push the bottom item down rather than overlap
it?

You can, but both boxes have to be inline inside a third box. Just use the Insert Html from the insert menu instead of drawing the boxes.

Worse than that, if a viewer enlarges the text in their browser, it
can overlap even if you don’t add extra text.
You could make the two objects into ‘inline’ objects. Draw a box to
contain them both, then get the cursor flashing inside that box and go
to the ‘Insert’ menu and insert two HTML boxes. They’ll appear one
under the other by default. Enter text in the top box, and enter more
text in the bottom box; when the text is enlarged in Preview, the
bottom box is pushed down to accomodate the increase in size.

If I have an existing page can I just select all and group them to achieve the same thing?

No - that wont work.
If they are layered items then they have to be inserted in a parent container.
If you change them to non-layered items though then they will push each other about.
