For the others,  I suggested Paul contact me off list.  Short answer is 
you can import any number of times and the imported records replace the 
current found set.  The imported records become the found set and the 
others are now in the omitted set.  Do a Find All and you should see 
all the records. AS an example say I have a db with 100 records and I 
import 10.  The 10 become the found set and the other 100 are the 
omitted set. A ind All gets all 110 records showing.  I usually make 
sure the imported set is OK before doing a find because you can flip 
back and forth between sets to check data import.
