1) look into "readExcelSheet" in Excel Tools plug-in. parse the data you receive then write to DB using the normal methods. 
 2) a ) choose the appian assignment group based on the data you've received. you'll have to do this based on the methods by which you're naming/storing groups - it's not difficult. b ) read the available documentation on task escalations; you'll be pretty much limited to what's already available, though you should be able to do (or get close to) what you describe. 
 3) I'm not sure what you mean by "maintain dashboard". overall I can only suggest that you build an interface showing whatever data your users will find most useful to do what they need to do - what that is, however, is only a question that can be answered by you, your users, and your stakeholders.
