Ideally you would exit the aircraft first and assist others with their exit from the ground as long as providing such assistance remained safe.
No, there is no inherent requirement to assist other passengers. Just open the exit and bug out.
What to do with exit window differs between airlines. Some say throw it
out others say put it in the row of seats
ahead. Since there are likely people in the seats, the latter seems it would only add confusion and delay. I'm going to hurl it out.
