Answer 1

Try to add table-layout="fixed" in your fo:table, so that it becomes:

<fo:table table-layout="fixed">

You might also need to add the width of your table

<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%">

If you still get the warning, try to define the width of your columns:

...
<fo:table-column column-width="30%"/>
<fo:table-body>
...

However, I doubt that you get a blank document because of this warning. What do you get if you do the following?

<xsl:template match="export">
    <fo:block>test</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
