Have you tried turning on the server group logs? It's a while since I did this but I seem to remember that if the server group is set up correctly then you see the lower processes going to sleep on the lower ranked servers. You can also see the polling between servers checking that processes are running. You then see the effect of shutting a server down in the logs of the other server(s).

Nothing will start automatically. As I understand it, the way the server group works is that the backend process apps (e.g., e-mail) will stay awake but in a standby state. They periodically poll the database to see if they need to take over. If they do, then they start processing until the primary becomes available again. If you didn't have the Server B processes running, then you need to start them. If you did have them running, then I still question your server group configuration - perhaps the server settings (do both servers know that they belong to a server group?).
