Kindle does not group by author, so the list is the same length as number of books. It's pretty useless.
As for collections, it is best to use them sparingly, and use Search (and calibre) instead.
Managing collections on Kindle does not scale up very well, making modifications can take a couple of minutes if they are larger than a couple of hundred. It used to be Kindle will only show you 1000; probably that is still the case.
There is a 'convenience' feature that lets you 'download all items'. in a given collection. For fun and curiosity, I tried it out a couple of weeks ago with a collection I have with about 300 books in it. It took 3-4 hours to download them (this with my Scribe over 5GHz band), and of course hours more to index that (I think the two activities probably interfere with each other). I finally gave up and used the 'remove all items' feature.
I see only minor discrepancies between what Kindles and the Kindle apps in the collections I have, and it doesn't really matter because I do not use them much.
