Let $S_n$ be the sum of the first $n$ terms of the sequence $\{a_n\}$, given that $a_n > 0$, and $a_n^2 + a_n = 2S_n$.  
(1) Find the general formula for the sequence $\{a_n\}$.  
(2) If $b_n = \frac{a_n}{2^{a_{n-1}}}$, find the sum of the first $n$ terms of the sequence $\{b_n\}$, denoted as $T_n$.
