Can you please provide the source file you used to produce this output?
I cannot replicate this problem.
Here, the following tree...
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Testing
- hello[1]
- A sub point[2] with some /emphasis afterwards/.
- goodbye[3]
[1] A footnote.
[2] The sub-point footnote.
[3] Another footnote.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
exports correctly as...
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\begin{itemize}
\item hello\footnote{A footnote. }
\begin{itemize}
\item A sub point\footnote{The sub-point footnote. } with some \emph{emphasis afterwards}.
\end{itemize}
\item goodbye\footnote{Another footnote. }
\end{itemize}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Are you sure that your plain lists are indented properly?

I'm not sure I understand your questions about BibTeX or how they relate
to the example above.
There is ample material on-line for learning BibTeX, but mastering it
requires some patient reading and practice. The short answer: BibTeX is
a file format for storing bibliographical data as well as a program for
formatting BibTeX data for LaTeX processing. Reftex is an emacs mode
(written by Carsten) that, among other things, makes it easy to enter
cite macros and reference keys in a LaTeX file (or, if you'd like, an
org file). Most instructions you'll find on integrating BibTeX with
org-mode presuppose a working familiarity with BibTeX and reftex. For a
quick overview, the Wikipedia article on BibTeX is a good place to
start.[fn:1]
Best,
Matt
