this will only reference the external image file.

this will put a copy of that file on disk into the existing image object (again).
Just like „Import as control“ does.

No! 

Once the image has been „imported“, what: put url(„bifile: … into image XYZ does) you do not need the image file, 
since it is not referenced anymore.

Hope that helps! :-)
