Many of the features that you're looking for can be accomplished by "shift-clicking" the blue bar which provides input for "text cells" without the standard input/output boxes. This bring up a TinyMCE editor. In the editor, there is a button labeled "HTML" which will let you input the HTML code directly.
For HTML export, you can try doing "File -> Print" in the notebook which should just return a static HTML page that you can save.
