When firing a gun will the bullet be fastest when leaving the chamber or will it pick speed up in the first couple of meters?

No, why would it pick up speed? That would violate the Law of Conservation of Energy. Unless it is shot down; in that case it might get accelerated by Earth's gravity.
This assumes we're talking about a normal gun. A Gyrojet, which actually fired small rockets rather than bullets, had projectiles that did pick up speed after leaving the barrel. However, Gyrojets (and their ammunition) were expensive, unreliable, and inaccurate, so they never really caught on and today are essentially collector's pieces.

A bullet is fired from a gun. The speed of the bullet will be about the same as the speed of the recoiling gun if the mass of the bullet equals the mass of the gun?
The mass of a bullet is nowhere near the mass of a gun. A bullet weighs at most a few hundred grains. Most guns weigh at least a couple of pounds, some weigh several pounds (talking about handguns and rifles).

What are the grooves on a bullet?
Couple of different answers to your question. With a FIRED bullet, grooves that spiral around the bullet are ballistic markings- lines engraved by the rifling in the barrel. In the case of grooves that run around the bullet, and filled with a waxy substance, those are grease grooves that hold lubricant. A single groove with no filler is a cannelure- spot for the cartridge case to be crimped into to hold a bullet snugly before firing.
