I exported 1000 msgs off a Q, all to one file. I then thought I could import those back to the same Q later. But this seems to not be working.
Nothing happens. Should this work ?

MQ Visual Edit (MQVE) has 2 functions to offload messages to a file: Export and Backup.
The Export function can write messages to a file in one of two ways: each message to a separate file or all messages to the same file. But in both cases MQVE writes out the messages as a text blob (just plain text).
The Backup function writes all selected messages included MQMD to a proprietary VEQ file. Hence, the Restore function will load the messages into the queue exactly as they were before (including MQMD).
Therefore, if you want to do message replay, I strongly suggest you use the Backup & Restore functions of MQVE.
