Except, you don't actually have any kind of backup really, other
than massaging the InCtrl report data as I understand it. If you
really have a backed-up copy of the system SOFTWARE hive, then
another technique might be used/useful. Details on your (other
post), "I have backups of hklm and hk_users that I made 5 hours
before the problems with Inf-tool." may be helpful.

Yes.

I don't quite take your meaning on the above.

No. Ignore all that and if working in a ControlSet area stick with
the CurrentControlSet.

See:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select\
for reference if you are not already familiar with that key and
contents.
