You could put hidden fields inside the Export to Excel form:

@using (Html.BeginForm(new { action = "ExportToExcel" }))
{
    @Html.Hidden("sidx")
    @Html.Hidden("sord")
    @Html.Hidden("page")
    @Html.Hidden("rows")
    
    
}

and populate them upon form submission based on the current values:

$('form').submit(function () {
    var grid = $('#list');
    var sortname = grid.getGridParam('sortname');
    var sortorder = grid.getGridParam('sortorder');
    var page = grid.getGridParam('page');
    var rows = grid.getGridParam('rowNum');
    $('#sidx').val(sortname);
    $('#sord').val(sortorder);
    $('#page').val(page);
    $('#rows').val(rows);
});

This way the ExportToExcel controller action will take those parameters and be able to filter the list.
