No. Up to now org-expiry is constructed to work on a per file basis
and `org-expiry-process-entries' even expects the headlines to process
in a region. That is what the first message "The mark is not set now,
so there is no region" complains about.

It seems reasonable to me that org-expiry should provide a function
that processes all headlines in a buffer and processing all headlines
in an agenda view.

Could I ask you to elaborate on the intended use of org-expiry? I'm
not quite sure about how expiry fits in the overall concept of
orgmode.
