Might this be available for export in the future?
Doesn't seem likely, mainly due to the fact not many countries need or can afford such an asset and would be better served with either the KJ-700 or KJ-600
Well, there's one such country
Though both pride and ever more complex integration will get in the way.
On the other hand, shall those be resolved, future benefits for already frequent joint operations will be immense.
If you mean a brand-new, designed-from-scratch aircraft which is kitted for military applications (and little to nil consideration for civilian operations) - Apparently there have been rumors of such aircrafts (probably as a general-purpose platform for multitude of applications and likely in the Boeing 757-category in terms of size/weight) being in the works(?)
Since this was mentioned by both Adorable Dolphin and Oneninety sometime last month, so perhaps this information do have some amount of credibility-ish(?)
Kindly treat these information with a huge chunk of salt, though.

This distance seems easily vulnerable to a stealth fighter's preemptive penetration?
Hi,
if it’s possible to detect around 300/350 km for a stealth then it’s a possibility to
bring that stealth on ground otherwise by the time awacs detect it, missile from
stealth might be in its way
thank you

It depends.
In conventional volume search mode, without prior indication of the target's location, the detection range can be this.
However, if the detection range is for a narrow-angle, full-power search, the detection range inevitably increases.
Let me give you an example:
Sukhoi claims the Su-35S can detect a 3m² target at 350-400km. That's a good range against an F-16 or Typhoon, but it means this latest Flanker can't detect an F-35 or F-22 until they're within 35-40km.
US fighters can launch the AIM-120D medium-range missile at approximately 80km, which is before the Su-35S can locate them.
This detection range is for a narrow-angle, full-power search; it depends on the F-35 or F-22 being previously detected by another system. In conventional volume search mode, without prior indication of the target's location, the detection range is half, i.e. 17-20km against F-35 and F-22.
