I'm new in managing and designing oracle database.
After I performed some DDL/DML on the tablespace (e.g. create table, insert, update), I found that the datafile's modified date in OS is not changed. Only those redo log files and archived log files were changed.
Does it mean the data file was allocated enough space (not extended), and the file was opening or online fI/O processing?
But after I deleted a table, I found the date is modified. Why?
Thanks!

After I issued "COMMIT" after performing insert/update/delete/create table, etc., how can I know the data are written into the data files? Rather than using "SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE", should I run "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE" or something else?

If "export" means Oracle export, you cannot export if the database is down. Export is like any other program, so if data are committed it sees them otherwise it can't.

You can do it online if you are in archivelog mode and put the tablespace in backup mmode.
