It was quite funny - I didn't swat at them just ducked and waited for my friend to come out and rescue me.
No, only the mother does the nesting, as they do it all by themselves. She flies away if anyone is on the porch. I also follow a bunch of nesting eagle nest on my computer. Lot's of new baby eagles all over the country.
