As MP3tag does not compare the tag data between files, there is no way to group duplicates. You can sort, of course, but you would have to scan through the list manually.

I don't know what you did with an export (this usually gets saved in the current working directory) unless you have a dedicated script to do so.

On the problem of alleged duplicates in general, see some threads:
