Answer 1

I did that a long ago. I don't have my system with me but i can say that transform your preview layer horizontally and it will show exact result as you want. For saving and exporting you will find lot of examples out here.

Answer 2

i figured this out myself, Here is the solution:

if captureDevice.position == AVCaptureDevicePosition.back {
            if let image = context.createCGImage(ciImage, from: imageRect) {
                return UIImage(cgImage: image, scale: UIScreen.main.scale, orientation: .right)
                }
            }

                if captureDevice.position == AVCaptureDevicePosition.front {
                    if let image = context.createCGImage(ciImage, from: imageRect) {
                    return UIImage(cgImage: image, scale: UIScreen.main.scale, orientation: .leftMirrored)

        }
    }
        }
        return nil
        }
