As you are using the Selenium-Java clients as per best practices the first and foremost trial must be with invoking the highly efficient and proven click() method. Depending on the errors resulting out of click() method we can work on other alternate solutions.

As I can see from your code trials with JavascriptExecutor and switchTo().window(), you havn't identified the WebElement representing the SAVE AND EXIT button well.

To click on the SAVE AND EXIT button you can use the following code block :

new WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//div[@class='modal-dialog']//div[@class='modal-footer']//button[@class='btn modal-button full-btn' and @id='saveexit']"))).click();
