When I add receptacles to the adjacent room, I'll be able to pull a ground wire from the adjacent room circuit to serve as the ground for this currently ungrounded circuit. I read NEC, it seems to permit two circuits to share the same ground conductor, if the circuits originate in the same enclosure, which these do.
So . . . sound ok?

Sounds fine to me from a technical perspective; can't comment on code in your area. In my area, depends where the circuit is. GFCI is only "required" in the kitchen/bathrooms for us and in the kitchen, EVERY outlet has to be GFCI (stupid).
