@Rachel good news and bad news situation. Bad news: The export method you are using, as the name suggests, exports ALL content. It is not in any way related to your Contents tiddler.
Good news: It is relatively easy to setup your own export method, that only exports what you want and in the format that you want. Either I or someone else should be able to help you with it. What does the raw wikitext of your Contents tiddler look like? We can try to use that for determining what to export and in what order.
