So your personal story confirms an unsurprising overlap.

Is everybodys story identical to yours?

Did one group actually spawn the other (given the timelines, loose structure, and global diffusion) or is it merely the case that some members in common moved from one group to other?

Arg, lost my dissertation...

Short answer : I don't really know. Antifa is way older than anonymous, but the intersection could have happened naturally, as both groups have the same "anarchist" ideology. That would mean that anarchism as a way to organize is somehow viable? Not sure.
