Hi Tim,
Automatically populating the address book is not possible "out of the box" but could be done fairly easily as a custom plugin.
A supervisor field could easily be added from the web admin, and made to be a select list. The admin can also do a search on users and send selected users a mass email. Allowing a supervisor to send an email to his own students would probably require some custom work though, as normally he would need to pick the students out of the address book manually.
Hope that helps,
Alex
