1. You point the address of the exported function to a string that is inside the export table. This triggers the loader to use the string to import from another module.

2. You put the ordinal number in the first two bytes of the import string. Normally these two bytes would be zeros. They act as a hint if you also include the string, but without a string then they are used directly.

in the export address table:

Code:

...
dd RVA func_abc
dd RVA func_jkl_forwarded_string
dd RVA func_xyz
...

in the export names table:

Code:

...
dd RVA func_abc_string
dd RVA func_jkl_string
dd RVA func_xyz_string
...

the export ordinals table is no change

And the names:

Code:

...
func_abc_string: db 'ABC',0
func_jkl_string: db 'JKL',0
func_xyz_string: db 'XYZ',0
;the following name MUST be within the export section or it won't work
func_jkl_forwarded_string: db 'modulename.JKL',0

BTW I don't understand your example, it looks wrong to me

instead of:
dw 0
db 'import',0

you use:
dw ordinal
db 'import',0

or you can use:
dw ordinal
db 0
