If I choose several videos to export, videos of both 720p and 1080p, but choose to export as 1080p for example, does that apply to all videos then? That even videos that are originally 720 stretches to 1080? And actually becomes worse?
OR does that option only mean that it export as maximum 1080? But videos that are 720 exports still as 720?

Also, what is the settings for drag and drop? I noticed the pictures becomes jpeg when drag and drop, but what quality does it choose? And what for videos?
I also noticed the quality seems to become better when drag and drop, at least for pictures. Why?
If you export a batch of material at a given setting that applies to all the material. So:

Yes.
Drag and drop yields the Preview of the item - in the case of a video it gets you the thumbnail used to represent the movie. If you hold the command key and drag it's the same as exporting the original.
As for photos, are these raw or jpegs?
But I feels like it should become better quality when exporting, than with drag and drop, so it seems weird. But for videos, when I drag and drop the HDR disappears, but when I export it exports with HDR like its original. So the videos seems to become better when exporting, but not the pictures?
Pictures and videos don't get better. They can get prettier, more colorful, and so on, by cleverly removing "bad" information about wiggly lines and making them straighter, for instance, but changing the format cannot ever add more information. At best, changing pictures removes information from them.
So if I change an old 240x360 pixel picture into a 1200x1800 pixel image, it will have "higher resolution" with 25 times as many pixels; it'll take up more space; it'll make a bigger print; but it'll be just as fuzzy as the original. (But you can stand farther away from it!) All that happens is you make 25 copies of every pixel, so effectively the pixels are fatter. To change from 720 to 1080, you just pack in pixels that look like the ones around it. It doesn't look better. Any apparent increase is essentially fake.
But if you're going to view a 720 video and a 1080 video on the same screen, then the software that plays the videos will already be adding pixels to both of them to make them fill the screen-- it just adds more made up pixels to the smaller image. If you change the 720 to 1080 during the export, or if you let the player do it automatically when you watch it, you get the same picture.
So I wouldn't worry about it.
But how is that even possible? A 720p video can't be more than 720?
I tried the thing with the command key but I didn't work. But when I press "alt" and drag, it becomes the original.
Its both heif, jpeg and png

Why? How would drag and drop make a better snap out of an existing one?
If I export a video with preferred quality will it effect all the other videos as well?
