Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan) 2.7 is a Microsoft tool commonly used to manage multiple RDP connections. Microsoft originally published RDCMan but removed the older 2.2/2012-era installer due to security concerns; the latest supported release from Microsoft is 2.7. For convenience and safety, use the official Microsoft release or a trusted source.

The original from 2010 is no longer available for official download. Microsoft discontinued the older versions due to security vulnerabilities.
If you want, I can:
No, not without patching. If you download the original RDCMan 2.2 executable from a third-party "software archive" site, you are running software with a known security vulnerability. It is highly recommended not to use the legacy version unless you absolutely must and are strictly controlling your configuration files.
If you move or delete a parent group, children show a warning in the UI (a red exclamation). The XML still holds the orphaned settings, but they become absolute.
