Hello

1. Yes - you can, module allows to export in a two ways:
   - manual generation, where you as a shop owner can generate a csv file with mouse click
   - automatic generation, where you can use an url to generate a csv file with products feed. This means that you can run 'cron job' task where you will just open an url of the module to generate the csv file
2. it is auto-generated csv file, it is not necessary to store it anywhere. In terms of file's accessibility there is no difference between normal file and auto-generated feed available on the url. Both things are available online.
3. This means that there is not enough resources on your hosting account to run such time/cpu/ram consuming tasks.  If you do not have permissions (shared hosting) to change some database / php parameters to run 'large' tasks:
   •  In this case the best solution is a partial import. You can generate several urls - for example - export by categories. In this case you will auto-generate several  smaller csv files instead one big.
