No, the eyes and lungs are not parts of the excretory system.

The eyes are part of the visual system, while the lungs are part of the respiratory system, involved in gas exchange rather than waste elimination.
How does the hilum in the upper lungs work?
Hm. There is no such thing as the "hilum of the upper lung". The hilum (also called the hilus) is the part of the lung where the bronchi, pulmonary veins, and pulmonary arteries enter the lung. Each lung has its own hilum. Surrounding the hilum are lymph nodes that help drain fluid that has entered the lung.
Since the hilum consists of so many different structures with distinct purposes, there's no easy way to discuss how the hilum "works". It's more of an anatomical entity rather than a functional one.
Do you have a specific question about the function of one of the structures in the hilum?

Why do people who live in the mountains of Nepal have bigger lungs than you do?
In high elevation, mountainous areas, the air is very thin, meaning the oxygen molecules are more spread out. When people began living in these mountains, breathing was obviously an issue, since there was less oxygen to breathe. These people's bodies have adapted over the years, and they generally require less oxygen. Their body produces more red blood cells to carry oxygen as well.
