2 groups listed in Mattawa. A group is the set of people who run a meeting, and most run more than one a week.

Not many. 8 meetings within 20 miles is what the public lists hold, and that is the whole of it rather than a page one of several.

The same twelve step shape, applied to drinking in one and to drugs in the other. Both are free, both are run by their own members and neither takes outside money. If one fellowship has nothing nearby, the other may well have.

You do not have to give a name at all, and nobody will press you. The habit of first names only exists precisely so that going to a meeting carries no consequence outside the room. Arriving early is worth it if you would rather not walk in to a full room.

The whole thing runs to a pattern the regulars know by heart. What people talk about is their own drinking and what they do about it, not yours. Turning up early in Mattawa usually means somebody says hello before things start.
