I am creating a Response Group and wondering what the SIP field is. Can this be any random email address that I create in AD, or does it actually matter?
The sip address is not an email address and does not need a cooresponding mailbox. But to answer your question, it can be anything in the format "sip:ResponseGroupName@sipdomain.com". Make it somewhat descriptive of what the response group
will do. The sipdomain.com must be a supported sip domain in your Lync environment.
It defines the SIP URI associated with the group, but most times it is not known or utilized by end-users as the Telephone Number is typically what is used to 'call' a response group. It just needs to be a unique string, like
supportgroup@contoso.com fro example.

What exactly is this field used for? Does it have to do with how Lync routes calls, like it needs to have a SIP address to map numbers to or something?
