Answer 1

Create a Java agent to export a DXL file for all selected documents:

import lotus.domino.*;

public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase {

    @Override
    public void NotesMain() {

        try {
            Session session = getSession();
            AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
            DocumentCollection dc = agentContext.getUnprocessedDocuments();
            String filename = "c:/temp/exportDocs.dxl";
            Stream stream = session.createStream();
            if (stream.open(filename)) {
                stream.truncate();
                DxlExporter exporter = session.createDxlExporter();
                exporter.setRichTextOption(0);
                exporter.setMIMEOption(0);
                stream.writeText(exporter.exportDxl(dc));
            } else {
                System.out.println("Cannot open " + filename);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Leave default settings for new agent like "Target: All selected documents" as they are.

Open then a view, select documents and run the agent.

As an alternative you can create a LotusScript agent

Sub Initialize
    Dim session As New NotesSession
    Dim db As NotesDatabase
    Dim dc As NotesDocumentCollection
    Dim filename As String
    Dim stream As NotesStream
    Dim exporter As NotesDXLExporter
    Set db = session.Currentdatabase
    set dc = db.UnprocessedDocuments
    filename = "c:/temp/exportDocs.dxl"
    set stream = session.createStream()
    If stream.Open(filename) Then
        Call stream.Truncate()
        set exporter = session.CreateDxlExporter()
        exporter.Richtextoption = 0
        exporter.MIMEOption = 0 
        Call stream.WriteText(exporter.Export(dc))
    End if
End Sub
