First of all, sorry for my poor english (I´m just a brazilian guy - eu
quase não sei falar o portugues, imaginem o ingles então.)

The set foreign_key_checks=0 disables the referential integrity (for
just one session only).

Yes, you should insert in the beginning of the file, OR
you can do this:
mysql --port=port --socket=socket -p
set foreign_key_checks=0; -> Disables integrity
\. archive.sql -> Execute the script
exit -> quits the client

As far as I know, no, you can´t.

No, the foreign key error is generated because mysqldump dumps table in
a different order (alphabetical) that it should.
