I don't have any specific examples, because this is just an idea I had and wasn't sure if it is possible. Let's say for the sake of argument that @stringlist is a string-list that contains aliases. I want everything in the string-list to be executed and deleted from the stringlist immediately after.

#forall @stringlist {%item(@stringlist, %i);#delitem stringlist %i}

amount=%numitems(@stringlist)
#LOOP @amount {%item( @stringlist, @index);#add index 1}
index=1

Both don't work.

You weren't far off on this one. #FORALL's %i is the actual element value itself (ie, if the first item in your list was 'dofighting' then %i = 'dofighting'). When you tried to use it in the %item() function, it was expanded to %item(@stringlist, dofighting), and ZMud just doesn't know what to do with that since it expects a number as the second parameter for %item().

Therefore, just use %i in place of the %item() function.
