Answer 1

If you're looking to send focus to a control. Control objects have a method called .grab_focus()

Docs: http://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_control.html#class-control-grab-focus

Assuming you have a Control node with a Button node named Button as it's child:
With something like this, you can send focus by hitting any keyboard key.

extends Control

func _ready():
    set_process_input(true)

func _input(event):
    if(event.type == InputEvent.KEY):
        get_node("Button").grab_focus()

Answer 2

To use the focus neighours you have to focus on it's neighbours in a script.
Like
func _ready(): ButtonGroup.get_button_list()[0].grab_focus()
