Questions:

(1) When I import a private key from Qt to Armory - the key (along with its funds) still also technically exists in Qt wallet.dat, right?

This way, if I make some mistake on the import to Armory, then my funds are still ok in Qt, assuming I don't lose my Qt wallet.dat file?

(2) I want to avoid "sweeping" - which I can't figure out how to do fully offline.

So I want to do as follows:

(a) Import private key from Qt to a "temp" Armory wallet "TempWallet" (offline of course).

(b) Create another, separate "permanent" Armory wallet "PermWallet" (also offline).

(c) Import private key from Qt wallet.dat to Armory wallet "TempWallet".

(d) Offline-sign & online-broadcast a transaction (using the normal procedure) sending funds from Armory "TempWallet" to Armory "PermWallet".

Would this work?

Remark:

I know the above approach would take slightly more steps, but at least I'm comfortable with it, since "import" + "offline send" seems like it could be done totally offline, versus "sweep" which seems like it combines an "import" and an "online send".

Apparently, I wouldn't have control over how the "send" part of the "sweep" is performed - ie, I couldn't do the "send" part of the "sweep" offline.

So I want to do this slightly longer approach, so I can avoid putting wallet.dat back online now even briefly in Qt, and so I can do the import from Qt to Armory offline, and do the send in Armory also offline.

So everything would be completely offline now.

Does this approach make sense?

Thanks for any help!

PS - I did also post the same question a few weeks ago - but I think my post was too long (and confusing), and also I didn't really understand the answers - sorry!
