I would follow Cocopuff2018's suggestion. There is no point in importing pages to a new wiki just to have that wiki taken down as well. If the issue was with only a few pages, then at least you would know which ones to deleted immediately after importing them. I have never actually imported a database dump before. However, if my understanding is correct, you should be able to select it as the source file when using Special:Import. MediaWiki's import feature should take it from there. Perhaps the help page would be useful in better understanding how to do things.
