I think it work to import database from Dashboard.
I don't have used. I prefer phpMyAdmin
Yes, you need to change URL's from database with the new store URL before import.

If you have store:
store1.com and you want to duplicate same store in
store2.com or
store1.com/duplicate.
After database export you need to change
store1.com url's with
store2.com or
store1.com/duplicate before import in that URL's

The difference between them is (and this is very important!):
1. using the internal backup (via the backend in OC) exports only the table contents - without the table structure
2. using phpMyAdmin (or another tool your provider offers) will export both: structure and table content (data)
To reimport you need 2. - and only that!
