First point if you want them searchable by Artist And Title then you would have to edit the files to show the artist name. If your not bothered about the Artist then they will import as unknown for that field.
You could import them in batches by the way you set the define fields order, example those with disc number and track first then those with Artist and Title lastly those with just Title.

I think you would have been better of leaving them on your external Maxtor One Touch. You could then import them from that into Hoster as kma files leaving the bin files intact as a backup. Alternately convert the bin files now on your new computer to MP3+G or zips which would save you a huge amount of hard drive space, then import them as kmh files,
A bin file is about 10 times the size of an MP3+G.

Also I had these questions:

Yes

Yes but I think it would be easier just copying a complete disc.

Either keep your original bin files or save copies of the kma files or the MP3+g files along with their kmh files

I'll have to pass on this one.
It may help you if you look at these videos on importing files.
