If not getting credit is OK for you, you might consider using the
PrimeNet manual check-out/-in forms.

Possibly, yes -- but I don't think it's critical, as long as you didn't
switch usernames, PrimeNet should still accept the result. However, the
right thing to do this is (as far as I know) simply to edit the computer
information from the mprime menu (mprime -m) -- if you do that, mprime
will (again, as far as I know :-) ) tell the PrimeNet server about the
change.
