Answer 1

The xlsx package has the function addHyperlink, for exactly this purpose. example(addHyperlink) should get you started.

Answer 2

The modern way is probably to use the openxlsx package. See the documentation for ?makeHyperlinkString as follows:

x <- c("https://www.google.com", "https://www.google.com.au")
names(x) <- c("google", "google Aus")
class(x) <- "hyperlink"

writeData(wb, sheet = 1, x = x, startCol = 10)
