Pull multiple images from folder one at a time, image trace/expand and store in 2nd folder, in 2 different formats
Can you make it so that an Action in Illustrator will pull batch images (probably one at a time to avoid processor overload) into Illustrator from a specified folder, apply image trace, apply expand, then save to a second folder in two different formats (EPS/jpg).
And PLEASE keep the settings for Image Trace (mode, etc) the same for each imported image, instead of returning to default.

This exceeds the possibilists of automation you can build in Ai with actions. You have to build scripts for this.
For example, take a look at this free BatchTrace script: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Item.md#batchtrace
It does not doe exactly what you want, but perhaps you can ask the developer to make some changes.
