I'm a member of many groups because of the freebies I get from Gleam. I don't want any notifications or their feeds in my friend's activity while being the part of group.

As far as I know this only depends on who's able to see the purchase event of your friend.
It might be that he set it to "friends only", so this would mean only his friends can see your comment as well. I don't think there's any added setting to determine who's able to see the actual comment (not considering it's parent "node"). You can only limit on who's able to see the whole thing and who's able to comment, but not who's able to read comments.
So if you'd like to add something like "eew you just bought limited activations Arkham City powered by SecuROM", anyone seeing that activity entry would see that note as well. In the end, don't say anything you don't want to land in public some time, cause you never know his settings (and they might change as well).
If you'd like to ask some personal/private question or anything like that, rather use the chat feature or drop a mail.
I'm afraid there's no way to opt out of these recipt emails from Steam. However, if you use Gmail, you can create a filter.
Click ⚙ > Settings
Filters tab > Create a new filter
Put noreply@steampowered.com in the From field and You have sold an item on the Community Market in the Subject field then click Create filter with this search
Finally, if you wish to archive but not delete it, check Skip the Inbox (Archive it) and then click Create Filter

So i dont know if the solution i can give you also results in the Steam Client not giving you notifications from groups anymore.
I did this in the Browser:
Navigate to your Player Tab and click on activity:
If you are on your activity page on the top of the list there is a link called Friend Activity Settings:
Now you should see a lot of options and checkboxes. Scroll down until you find the groupbox A Group i belong to:
You can change the settings now and save it on the bottom of the page.
As i said above i dont know if this is just for the activity feed or also for the steam client (which theoretically would be logic).
