Answer 1

There are two options available to you:

1) Backup your development database & restore it on your production database (make sure all additional portlets are deployed on the production box as well).

2) use Liferay's export / import functionality found

• Go to Control Panel
• Go to the community you want to export
• Click actions -> Manage Pages
• Go to Export / Import
• Select all options for Export
• Save the resulting LAR file somewhere convient
• Upload the LAR file to your production server
• Follow the previous steps but go into Import
• Select any options you require
• Click "Import"
• Voila, you're done!

Answer 2

For the record in Liferay 6.1 the export in control panel under "site pages".
