Sure, just switch the database contents, all settings will be taken from the new db.
Keep in mind that you most likely will have to adjust some old values like forum url and the absolute forum path for vb to work.
If that occurs, upload the tools.php from the do_not_upload dir inside your vbulletin archive, this way you can repair broken database values.

You should be ok with importing it all by one. It's only necessary to split it if you exceed the max. upload size or max. script execution time.

This *could* become a problem, but I'm not sure. Best thing to try it out, if it doesn't work, install a fres vbulletin with the same version as your old forum and upgrade it after restoring the db.
