I've added the Eject button to my menubar, but its only showing my Superdrive, not my external.
Is this correct or can I get my external HD to show up too?

The eject button in the menubar is only designed to eject the CD/DVD drive, and not internal or external drives. It has never been there to indicate the ability to eject a HDD, only your optical drive.
So simple answer: Your Mac is doing what it's supposed to do. Only CD/DVD drives appear in the menu bar.Your external hard drive should appear on the desktop. To eject it, drag it down to the dock, and your trash can should transform into an eject icon.

Oh, right
I thought I read somewhere that is also ejects external drives.
Do you know of an application that works in the same way, letting me eject from the menubar?

Can't say I do, but I would love to know about it if there is one out there.
