no, it's just a way to express that it's from a group that includes the speaker
Yes it IS a contraction of the prepositions מִן and אֶת plus suffix because one wants to avoid the form מִמֶּ֫נּוּ, which means both "from him" and "from us".

From what I gather when using "מ" in the suffixed form it goes
for me "-ממנ"
for you (single m, f) "-ממ"
for him and her "-ממנ"
for us "-מאית"
for you (plural m, f) ?
for them (plural m, f) "-מ"
Is this correct? Does anyone know which form goes with plural you?
Because making a statement and adding a question mark at the end is not the proper way to construct a question in English, as in "You looking at me?"
To DARTME1: No, both forms are totally identical even with complete niqqud and finish both in [u]. Both min-mín-hu and min-mín-nu resulted in the histoy of language through assimilation in the same form.
