Is this correct?

     echo '<div class="updated"><p>' . __( 'All options are restored successfully.', 'mytextdomain' ) . '</p></div>';

And how to go about this one? 

     <p><?php _e( 'On the <a href="' . get_admin_url() . 'import.php">Import</a> page, choose the previously created file and click the <strong>Upload file and import</strong> button.', 'mytextdomain' ); ?></p>

  1. Your example is correct, simply because it works. There are hundreds of ways to localize strings wich are displayed including html, all good and elegant in their own way.

    I like to do this as follows:

    printf( '<div class="updated">
        <p>%1$s</p>
    </div>',
    __( 'All options are restored successfully.', 'mytextdomain' )
);

    You also could do this like:

    $str = __( 'All options are restored successfully.', 'mytextdomain' );
echo "<div class='updated'><p>$str</p></div>";

    The most important thing is to maintain readability I guess. There isn’t a “correct” way to display localized strings in combination with html.

    For your second one, I would use:

    _e( sprintf( 'On the <a href="%1$s">Import</a> page, choose the previously created file and click the <strong>Upload file and import</strong> button.', get_admin_url() . 'import.php' ), 'mytextdomain' );

    In this case, the URL doesn’t have to be translated.
