1. that's exocortex's default plugin behavior, you can customize the behavior with their python api. we do this at whiskytree and only get the ops we want. we customize import and export based on asset type ie. cameras.
2. and 3. use the free python api alembic comes with... reimplement the camera only export in softimage or program x in python. use the existing spec/camera class. reuse existing free maya, houdini, and nuke plugins. again, it is not my intention to discourage you... just want you to think about the time you are going to spend on foundation stuff which is pretty much done.
