I believe I would probably use "erase then copy" to clone the data back to the internal although, as you suggest, a "smart update" of the internal from the external would probably also do it.
Regarding updates after that, I would then revert to doing "smart updates" of your external from your internal. However, I would wait to do ANYTHING to the external until you are sure that your cloning back to the internal has been completely successful, the internal is booting normally, etc.
(I did not quite understand your final reference to setting subsequent backups "to do nothing"?? In any event, they should be set to do "smart updates" of the external, from the internal, once you are satisfied that all is well.)

By "do nothing", I was referring to the last step of a smart backup where you are given the choice on successful completion to set backip as the start up disk, restart with backup disk, quit SuperDuper, shut down, sleep, etc.
