I want to find out if the manually selected features in ArcMap can be the input to a ModelBuilder tool. If not, is it possible to copy or export selected features in ArcMap using ModelBuilder? Once in ModelBuilder, the data will be manipulated and exported to a dwg file but I first need to figure out how to get the selected features in ArcMap as the input to ModelBuilder.

As PolyGeo indicated in the comments, Select will do this in one step. Otherwise, use Copy Features to copy the selected features.
Copies features from the input feature class or layer to a new feature class. If the input is a layer which has a selection, only the selected features will be copied. If the input is a geodatabase feature class or shapefile, all features will be copied.
In this example, it is assumed you dragged the feature layer from the table of contents into your model--otherwise, you will need to incorporate the Make Feature Layer (Data Management) tool.
You can't set filters in the LAS Dataset to Raster Tool.
You can set them using the Make LAS Dataset Layer Tool, then connect the output from this tool to the LAS Dataset to Raster Tool.
Best Answer
Yes, as long as the input is a Feature Layer or Table View, selections will be honored by most geoprocessing tools including those within models.
