If you try to import posts into the same blog that you exported them from, Blogger will not import any posts, and give you an error message.
If you do want to do this (eg to create a duplicate set of posts), then do the export, change some small detail of the original posts title or date/time, and then do the import.

Importing to the same blog:

Blogger Post
Any internal links in the blog will still point to the post in the old blog
Any pictures, videos etc in the old blog will still be in the same place that they were in (Picasa-web-albums, YouTube, Google Videos etc).
If you have imported more than the number of posts that Blogger allows per day(currently 50 I think) then to make any more posts today you will need to complete the captcha-test (ie entering the letters in the funny-shaped word). This will go away approximately 24 hours after you last enter more that the maximum-posts-per-day.
For example this link points to a popular article in Blogger-HAT.
If I export-and-imported this post into a new blog, the link would still point to the same place, ie the post in Blogger-HAT - not to the post in the new blog.
