Just an update to say I have managed to do one of the things I was
asking for help with. As with most things, it was easier than I
thought.

Done! It can be achieved by making this change to my-progress.el:
(with-current-buffer (if view-file
(get-file-buffer view-file)
(current-buffer))
+ ;; do everything in a copy of the current buffer
+ (org-export-with-current-buffer-copy
+ (org-export-expand-include-keyword)
(save-excursion (setq mytoc (reverse (toc-alist))))
(save-excursion
(save-restriction
(org-columns)

(setq nfields (length (car tbl)))

(goto-char pos)
(move-marker pos nil)
