Yes.
REView listname [(options] Get information about a list
BY sort_field -> Sort list in a certain order:
Country by country of origin
Name by name (last, then first)
NODEid by hostname/nodeid
Userid by userid
BY (field1 field2) You can specify more than one sort field if
enclosed in parentheses:
BY (NODE NAME)
Countries -> Synonym of BY COUNTRY
LOCal -> Don't forward request to peers
Msg -> Send reply via interactive messages (BITNET users only)
NOHeader -> Don't send list header
Short -> Don't list subscribers

Yes.
2. Create an add job as follows:
QUIET ADD listname DD=X IMPORT
//X DD *
internet-address1
internet-address2
/*
where "listname" is the name of the new list, and
"internet-address1", "internet-address2" and other users are the internet
addresses from the original 7list that you want to add to the new list.
Optionally, you can add the user's "real name" field, e.g.,
QUIET ADD listname DD=X IMPORT
//X DD *
internet-address1 full_name
internet-address2 full_name
