You are asking two completely different questions in one forum thread. That is generally not recommended. You should really split this into two questions in the future.

1. As to setting fields in the excel download via ALV to read only, that would require a modification to the SAP standard XSLT that creates the Excel output. The current XSLT is simply not designed to do that. I would be very cautious about making such a modification. You might have to consider creating your own export functionality instead (not a simple job however).

2. Sure it is possible to run a WDJ application from WDA. At its simplest form both WDJ and WDA applications generate URLs that can be called by LinkToUrl or Exit Plugs like any other URL. However if you are running your application in the portal you should also consider Object Based Navigation. This will give you greater flexibility and configurability over the navigation.
