What are the benefits to use the exported android app above using the html5 version, since both just using the web browser?
What can i do extra with the exported android app, what i can not do with the html 5 web version?
(to be frankly, the exported android app, is not a 'real' android app, its like using vmware/virtualbox principle)
What is the difference between android app vs html 5 app?

You can access most of the phone API like GPS, Contacts etc. It's not implemented fro now, but that's a possibility which is not available in HTML5

If the user's browser config allows the header to be sent; you'd need to design for it to not be available at all. A wrapper for native GPS(including sat aquire stage check) would be proper. Same for BT profiles, Accelerometer, FM, Compass, NFC etc..
Android and IOS also have a disable option for your user but users are more accepting of location-requests on mobiles. It'd still be sensible to design for no-location cases.
