Is there a way to export (embed in the native media files+tags) metadata? I specifically wanting to do this for Movies.

No, I don’t think that’s possible with PLEX. You would need a 3rd party program for that. Also, many people have LMA at the bottom of the list of agents so I don’t think PLEX even knows the metadata exists.
Traditionally, Plex doesn’t change your media files. Therefore it won’t write back its meta data into the files.
any recommendations on 3rd party programs that will move metatadata from the Plex db to the native files?

This might sound stupid or even rude, but may I ask why you want this?
A couple reasons - all about portability, usability of the media data. 1) so I can use other media players and have the same metadata, 2) If anything ever happened to Plex I wouldn’t loose all the metadata, 3)the manual updates to metadata I make are not tied to only one platform

I like your reasons. I wish PLEX handled metadata better.
This might interest you if/when you get a metadata editor.
Pretty much the same question, Is there anyway to get metadata out of plex into something more portable/universal (Ideally write main data directly to the MP4). I have a few custom agents in plex and have spent ages getting all my metadata sorted out but it’s now stuck purely in plex and useless for any other players 
You could try your luck with [REL] Lambda (Local Assets-Metadata Double Agent) for Plex Metadata export)
