I want to export and import a single folder; or more correctly, backup / copy-transfer; one single folder at a time - but regardless how I attempt to do so, ALL bookmarks are transferred and I then have to go through several hundred to elmininate the duplicates. Please advise if it is even possible to save/backup then restore a single folder at a time. Thank You.

You can copy and paste that folder or selected bookmark to the clipboard and paste them in a text file.

You can also use another profile with no bookmarks and copy an paste that folder to the other profile and export them from that profile.
Both profiles need to be open at the same time by starting the second profile with the -no-remote switch because current Firefox versions clear the clipboard if you close Firefox.
Copy and Paste selected bookmarks from one profile to the other profile in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).
