I have a QGIS point layer with attributes in table. I want to export a layer with some of the attributes as a CAD block with attributes. Is it possible to do something like this?

There is now native export into DXF in newer versions of QGIS which allows to export map layers including the labels:
More about the functionality can be found here: https://www.qgis.ch/en/projects/dxf-export
The DXF export functionality was developed by Jürgen Fischer (Norbit) and Marco Hugentobler (Sourcepole AG). The project was co-financed by SIGE (utility provider in Vevey) and the municipalities of Vevey, Morges and Uster.
I have been using mmqgis plugin with some success for transfer / export as csv with geometry.
The dxf format from the cad system which is suitable for import seems to be 2004-2006, coming into QGIs as a delimited text layer. Obviously I use a UTM coordinate system. For a polygon it will export two files, one is the attribute table.
To install mmqgis, you may have to hunt around in the plugin system a little.
The main challenge I expect is that cad exports have so many options for the management of blocks, text etc.

You can Use 'MAPIMPORT' in autocad to import shapefiles and some other formats. The map import window will give you some choices on how to import it (as a block, as a text, give the shapefile attributes to the block, import data table...)
The block's attributes will have to match the shapefiles's attributes to be imported correctly
