Is there a way to boost lower level groups?
There is not.
For Clockwork, there is the Psychic Clockwork group, which goes up to higher levels. But as their faction implies, they use Psychic attacks.

For example, can I make a clockwork or a lost mission and face them at a higher level based on my character?
That is, can I make it so my level 40 can face level 40 clockwork?
Let me add, without having to create custom critters that face the xp restriction.
