I have found a way to export addresses using the "export" option inside the address book-however, I need to extract the addresses from my Sent folder specifically. Is there a way to copy and paste into an Excel file? Or is there a way to do this through Thunderbird?

You can use this add-on to extract the mails: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/addresscontext/

Every contact you've sent a message to is automatically added to the Collected Addresses address book. One approach would be to create a new address book, then copy the desired contacts from Collected Addresses to that book by drag and drop, while holding the Ctrl key. Then, export the new address book to a csv (comma separated) file and open it in Excel.

It's also possible to scan a folder for contacts and have them added to an address book:
