Hi

If I create a few characters and level them up.
Can I easely restore them to leven 1 again? And how?

If I test play a adventure module, can I after that reset it as it was before?
Or is it as easy as creating a new Campaign and load that module again?

Thanks

It's not easy to reset to first level. It's much easier to just make a new 1st level character - by the time you deleted and changed everything back you could have done a 1st level character in a lot less time. I think that new 5E character generator may eventually make things easier but not yet I think.

If you are making a pregen character then just export the character at each level so you have a copy at each level.

If you are going to play around, create copies of the characters and you can always export a character xml to make backups at key points.

Yes the export is a seperate file.

You can export as mentioned above. You can also make copies as you go along. In the Character Selection screen, drag/drop a PC to make a copy of the data at that point. The new PC will have a name "XXX (Copy)".
