He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it part of the Sunnah that when a person enters upon a group of people who are seated, he should greet them verbally without shaking hands?

If he is coming from a journey, he shakes their hands. But if he is in the same town as they are and has not come from a journey, it is sufficient for him to offer the salam to them; this is enough. Yes.
