If you select Original in the export dialog then you get a second copy of it with no LR edits applied.
You have to select JPG and the File type, Extension.
Also select the option to Export To: "Same folder as original photo".
As for XMP files they get created for RAW files is you have the option checked to Auto Write changes to XMP in the Catalog Settings dialog.

Small correction: an XMP file is always created when you use the 'Export as Original' option. Even when you don't have the option checked to Automatically write changes to XMP.
