This is difficult. You could export them form one database, but the IDs would be different. Also, unless you "reset" their parent sections/categories to Uncategorized (or the specific section/category IDs on the new site). It's debatable whether or not you could have two browser windows open and just copy-paste articles between them and it'd be faster.

I've never seen an extension that does this. But you could copy/paste 20 articles in 5-10 minutes.
