I have a SK alt that I realised, on making, had a -40% exp penalty. No problem.

But, from what i am understanding, I beileve, is that if I am invited to a group the entire group gets the 40% penalty.

Is this correct?
not exactly, as i understand it you take 40% more experience from a kill than everyone else.

for example if a mob gives 1000 exp and you are in a group with 5 people who have no penalty/bonus, then you take ~233 xp and everyone else gets ~153 (note an equal 6 way split would be ~167 each). the effect is the whole group levels at the same pace.

so each person gets an 8% penalty to make up for your 40%. correct me if i'm wrong please.
