If by "replicas" you mean "directory servers", then yes, all directory
servers. If you mean "one of several replicated suffixes/databases on a
server", then no. The nsState entry is in each cn=replica entry for
each suffix, so you only have to fix the one that is causing problems.

No, because you do not want to keep the old replication state
information (generated by -r) because it is bogus.

In dse.ldif, in the cn=replica entry under each suffix under cn=mapping
tree,cn=config.

Yes. import the exported data on your "primary" master, then use that
one to re-init the other servers.
