            <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!accountList}" var="account">
                <apex:column value="{!account.id}"/>
                <apex:column value="{!account.Name}"/>
                <apex:column value="{!account.Phone}"/>
                <apex:column headerValue="Action" >
                    <apex:commandLink action="{!ResultsDownLoad}" style="color:green;">
                        <apex:param value="{!account.id}" name="accountid"/>
                        <apex:outputText value="Download Results" />
                    </apex:commandLink>
                </apex:column>
                
            </apex:pageBlockTable>
            <apex:commandButton value="Send" action="{!sendingCSVAsAttachement}"/>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>

</apex:page>

Here is controller -
public class CSVAttachmentANDDownload{
    
    public list<Account> accountList{get;set;}
    public list<Contact>Contacts {get;set;}
    public CSVAttachmentANDDownload(){
        accountList = [select id,Name,Phone from Account Limit 10];
    }
    
    public void sendingCSVAsAttachement(){
    
        OrgWideEmailAddress[] owea = [select Id from OrgWideEmailAddress where Address = 'no-reply@brocade.com'];
    Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
          String[] toAddresses = new String[] {Userinfo.getUserEmail()};
          mail.setToAddresses(toAddresses);
          mail.setSubject('Account Upload Results');
          
          if ( owea.size() > 0 ) {
                mail.setOrgWideEmailAddressId(owea.get(0).Id);
            }
           
            String body;
            body = '<html lang="ja" style="font-family:Calibri"><body>'+ '<br>'+
                        'Hi '+UserInfo.getName()+','+
                          '<br><br>'+'Please find enclosed accountlist'+'<br><br>'+
                          'Thank you,'+'<br/><br/>'+
                          'Salesforce'+'<br/>'+
                          '</body></html>';
                          
           mail.setHtmlBody(body);
            //List<dataWrapper> lstDataWrap = createDataWraps();
            List<String> headerFields = new List<String>{'Acountid','Account Name','Phone'};
            
            String csvString = ''; 
            for(String header : headerFields)
            {
                csvString = csvString + ',' + header.replace(',','');
            } 
            csvString = csvString.replaceFirst(',','') + '\n';
            String fileRow = '';
            String fieldValue = '';
            for(Account acc : accountList )
            {
                String data = acc.Id+ ',' + acc.Name+',' + acc.Phone;
                csvString = csvString + data + '\n';
            }
            Blob csvBlob = Blob.valueOf(csvString);   //Convert the data to Blob format
             
            Messaging.EmailFileAttachment efa = new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();
            efa.setFileName('AccountResult.csv');  //Set the name of the file
            efa.setBody(csvBlob);        
            mail.setFileAttachments(new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment[] {efa}); 
             Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { mail });
          
    }
    
    public PageReference ResultsDownLoad(){
        Id accountid;
        accountid = Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('accountid');
        Contacts = [SELECT id,Name,FirstName,Lastname,Phone,Title from contact where accountid =:accountid ];
        return Page.CSVDownLoad1;
    }

}
if clicked on download result link contacts of corresponding account will be download in CSV format.
For this CSV download, there is another page(CSVDownLoad1) designed for it.
<apex:page controller="CSVAttachmentANDDownload" contentType="text/csv#Contact.csv">"Title","First Name","Last Name"
     <apex:repeat value="{!Contacts}" var="con" >
     {!con.Title},"{!con.FirstName}","{!con.LastName}"
     </apex:repeat>
</apex:page>
