Simply modify the according settings once you are prompted for the job
to start... client in that menu means "target client".

In file selection mode, you have a prompt where you can navigate the
directory tree, use the commands 'mark' an 'unmark' IIRC, and so on. I
never tried giving a file list as a command option, and I don't think
that's possible.

No, but keep in mind that the restore job definition is nothing but a
*template* you will modify most of the time.

Hard to tell. It would be very important to carefully read the backup
and restore job reports as a first step, and to check and re-check your
filesets and job definitions as a first step.
