 That won't be compatible - you should have used the lower version exp to produce the dump file.

 Should be OK on the character set front, since everything in ISO8859P1 should be convertible to UTF8 (but careful about the bytes vs. character issues).

 This is misleading at a glance - it's caused by the incompatible versions of imp/exp rather than an actual character set issue.
