Answer 1

If you want to stop sending the email during Customer import then you have to work on Magento\Customer\Model\EmailNotification:newAccount().

Create an around plugin on Magento\Customer\Model\EmailNotification:newAccount() method and stop execute of this method.

And add Import Url full Action name as a condition on this plugin.

Plugin Class

<?php

namespace Devamitbera\Systemconfig\Plugin;

use Magento\Customer\Api\Data\CustomerInterface;
use Magento\Customer\Model\EmailNotification as CustomerEmailNotification;

class EmailNotification {

    protected $request;
    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http $request
    ) {
        $this->request = $request;
    }

    public function aroundNewAccount(
        CustomerEmailNotification $subject,
        \Closure $proceed,    
        CustomerInterface $customer,
        $type = CustomerEmailNotification::NEW_ACCOUNT_EMAIL_REGISTERED,
        $backUrl = '',
        $storeId = 0,
        $sendemailStoreId = null
    ) {

        $action = $this->request->getFullActionName();
        // if import URL  Full Action pathc then  donot excute rest of
        //  all code
        if($action == 'MY_ACTION_FULLNAME'){
            return $subject;
        }
        return $proceed(
                $customer,
                $type,
                $backUrl,
                $storeId,
                $sendemailStoreId
        );
    }
}
