There are several ways to align regions.  It sounds as if you
want to align the ends of a region to a certain point at the "end"
of the session.   First, position the Edit Cursor (the blue one)
at your "end of session" by dragging it there, or positioning
it by middle-clicking in the ruler area.  Then Ctrl-Shift left-click
on a region to align the region end to the edit cursor.  Ctrl
left-click aligns the region front to the edit cursor.  Also,
if you select multiple regions, popup the context menu, and do
Edit->Align it will align all selected regions begins to the edit
cursor.  Unfortunately, we need to add an "Align End" item to
do what you seem to want.

This does get tedious, and should be added as a feature request
in our Mantis bugtracker.  http://ardour.sf.net/mantis

I'm not totally clear on what you wanted to accomplish with the
markers here.  To export a time range of audio, you should make
a range selection (on any track).  Then right-click on the selection,
and pick the Selection->Export item.  It will then popup the export
dialog, you then have to pick only the track outputs that you want to hear
and click the checkboxes to put them on the proper channel of
the exported file.
