A small group of people and I are planning to create a website jointly promoted by each of us and share in the profits evenly.  There are 5 people including myself. 
 
My questions are:
1) Are there any 3rd party or independent companies that do profit division management.  In other words, I need someone who is independent from our group to be the only ones authorized by the group to access the account to distribute profits, or make funds available for other uses we jointly agree upon such as advertising expenses.
2) What are the rules/laws around creating an business relationship with others?  Do I need an LLC, partnership, etc?  How is this handled when one of the partners is in Belgium?

You should be able to speak with an attorney or CPA to help with administration of profits.
 
You definately need some type of corporate entity, either a corporation or LLC would be advisable. As for your foriegn partner that should not be an issue.
 
I`m sure you own stocks in foreign corporations in your 401k or IRA. They will obviously need to deal with there own tax laws etc. in Belgium, but there are accountants over there to help them with that.
