Here's a great tutorial how to do it: Microsoft Deployment Toolkit Offline Media
took me 5 seconds to google, I advise you to do the same before asking such a simple question again.
It's all about creating a selection profile and building media by means of creating an offline deployment scenario.
Keep us posted, and if helpful please rate! Kind regards

What does it always copy the missing files normally first, and then do a replace?
You can see it one picture above the last one.
That makes generating a USB media take so long.Any way to stop that?
Updating the DeploymentShare takes seconds, but updating a media about 15minutes. -

You want to connect a hard disk via usb and boot from that?
You could try making it bootable with diskpart and then copy the contents from the media folder to the HDD.
Formatting with NFTS works fine.diskpart list disk select disk X (where X is the disk ID) clean
format fs=ntfs quick
active
exit

No, create a Media like it's explained in Rens' link.
Copy the contents from the "Media\Content" Folder to the HDD after you prepapred it with diskpart. -

True, accept there can be one little detail that may not be forgotten and that is that the partition from which you want to boot your bootable media from, cannot be larger then 32 Gb. SCCM has this issue also so my guess is that it will also be the case for MDT / Offline media.
Next, about answerring questions, I've answerred the question you asked in the first place. That you rephrase your question or add another question to the topic doesnt change the fact that initially the answer I gave was correct. So please If you have your problem resolved, mark the answers that have helped you correctly.
Thanks, kind regards!

Verify the file.
You can also uncheck to generate an ISO, not really needed if preparing with diskpart.
