1. With ground party, can you equip them w/exploration mod by itself -- just it and crew/soldiers?
2. Can it be placed in say... a heavy shuttle and used?
3. Lastly, does having more than one bring any benefits?

The short version:
1: Yes.
2: Yes.
3: No.
I seem to remember the Tech manual suggesting that more than one might have a benefit. I ran a very minor field test, comparing using one Exploration module against a team using more than one, and noticed no difference.
Which isn't to say there isn't some advantage to it, just that I didn't find one.

might have come in handy if the first one had broken down

A higher mk-version will give you faster prospects. But one is enough...

Further to this note that a GP with an exploration mod but no transport will not have independent movement. Either shuttles or land transport with enough cargo capacity for the exploration mod will be needed (...indeed it ideally should have enough space for all the crew too, otherwise at best, the GP will move at walking pace)
In the DTR, one is never enough!
