What happens if you all leave your bags and walk back to the Teeing ground and the need to have a Provisional Ball put in play arises, but no one has got a second ball with them. Does going to your bag to get another ball consitute going forward?

It's not "going forward", it's "going forward to search for the origional".
Going to your bag, regardless of where it is, does not constitute searching for the original...unless you hit a drive that might be lost/ob near where your bag is located.
Walking to your bag AND THEN stating your intentions to hit a provisional would not violate 27-2 because the 5 minute search does not begin until you get to where you and your competitors think the ball might be located.
