Try this with &debugQuery=on. I suspect you're not getting the query you think you are and I'd straighten that out before worrying about highlighting.
Usually, for instance, AND should be capitalized to be an operator. So try with &debugQuery=on and see what happens. The highlighter, I believe, will try to highlight on all returned fields by default so it *should* work. And I assume you're setting 'stored="true" ' on your excerpt field?
