Hi!
In short:
Personally I do think that org-aganda-week-view[1] and
org-agenda-month-view behave differently. The first one shows
today and the upcoming six days whereas the month view shows the
current calendar month, independent of the current day.
Example problem:
Last week I started to use calendar export to ics/Google Calendar.
Therefore I am using org-agenda-month-view to narrow down my data
that gets exported.
If I export my agenda today, I only get about a week of agenda
days I am interested (upcoming schedule) and more than three weeks
of agenda days that are of no use for me any more (past).
I propose:
I'd personally prefer org-agenda-month-view showing today and the
upcoming 30 days instead.
1. There is a bug in the documentation btw: instead of
«org-aganda-week-view» there is «org-aganda-day-view» on
http://orgmode.org/org.html#Agenda-commands

Week view shows one calendar week (Monday - Sunday) for me.

You are right that this looks inconsistent, however, it is not.
You get this view for the weekly agenda only because
org-agenda-start-on-weekday is nil. You can set it to 1 to
make the week agenda start on Monday and then be consistent with
the monthly view.
You are looking for a view that covers 30 days.
The view you are requesting can be made with
C-u 30 C-c a a
or with a simple custom command that sets
org-agenda-span to 30 in the options section
of the command.

Oh, I see.

Perfect! Thank you very much!
That leaves just for the bug that «org-aganda-day-view» should be
replaced by «org-aganda-week-view» one time at
http://orgmode.org/org.html#Agenda-commands

I am (almost) to afraid to ask here (OT, newbee, ...):
For now I used:
,----[ from my .emacs ]
| (defun vk-export-agenda()
| "Exports monthly Org-mode agenda to agenda.ics file"
| (interactive)
| (org-agenda-list)
| (org-agenda-month-view)
| (org-write-agenda "~/org-mode/agenda.ics")
| )
`----
I tried by myself but failed miserable. How can I add this
org-agenda-span to this function definition?
And: is there an (E)LISP book/URL you can recommend? I do have
programming experience and I noticed that I should learn ELISP in
order to get most of my editor ...
Thanks again in advance!

,----[ C-h k C-c a ]
| a Call `org-agenda-list' to display the agenda for current day or
| week.
`----
,----[ C-h f org-agenda-list ]
| (org-agenda-list &optional INCLUDE-ALL START-DAY SPAN)
| ...
| With a numeric prefix argument in an interactive call, the agenda will
| span INCLUDE-ALL days. Lisp programs should instead specify SPAN to change
| the number of days. SPAN defaults to `org-agenda-span'.
`----
So, try
(org-agenda-list nil nil 30)
(org-write-agenda "~/org-mode/agenda.ics")

"An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp" should come with your
emacs. Good way to get started.
And "The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual" is very useful, too.
hth, my elips knowledge is *very* limited, though ...
