Passphrase has nothing todo with the wallets root key afaik ..

okay so the passphrase is only used to encrypt the wallet files. I'll try to export my btsx priv key and import.
use wallet_export_to_json and dare you to forget your passphrase (keys are encrypted)

So the keys stay within my wallet folder. If I want to remove them, I can:

1. backup and rename the wallet folder
2. open the client, create a new wallet using the same passphare
3. if the money shows up, delete the renamed old wallet folder

Am I right?

If I imported private key/wallet.dat from pts/bts into btsx client, does the client keep these keys?

Is it necessary to import to a one-time temp account and transfer it back to my main btsx account?

Imported keys stay in the wallet.  No need for one-time temp account.
