Shouldn't it also be "most of the people in the meeting" and "group was incompetent'? Please tell me.

Were is used for a particular person (like "if I were") so was is correct here.

Group is singular. So 'was' is correct.

"at" refers to an exact situation, place. etc, whereas "in" doesn't, so at is correct.
