I need to send Twitter messages to groups and if I do will the tweets be private and not re-tweet-able?
Twitter – tweet only to a select group of people

Yes, it could either be that particular tweet is not part of a conversation (i.e No one replied to it or the tweet itself isn't a reply) or it maybe part of a conversation but the other person has protected their tweets.
EDIT
Protecting your Tweets
To protect your tweets Log in to Twitter and navigate to your Settings. Then scroll down and tick the check box Protect my tweets
Then click Save to confirm your changes.
These tweets are always public. Anyone can see them anytime. But Twitter website is not built to show @B's replies to @A on the home timeline if they are not following @A. But there are Twitter clients that does it. I remember TweetDeck having this feature. It'd show the followers of @B all of his tweets and replies to @A even if they are not following @A.

As of now short answer no. A possible solution would be to create another twitter account. Protect the updates and have the people you want to communicate follow that account. As far as retweeting... I believe this is always possible. Even with protected updates.
Alternative would be to send a bunch of direct messages.
Might need to choose a different medium for communication if this is necessary. Such as email.
