Makes sense.
I usually go via phpmyadmin with this - there are compatibility options for older MySQL imports and some other options that might help and ye, after it's done, you also need a user with rights to mess that database and then edit existing wp-config.php to match newly imported database and created user credentials. I would go so far to guestimate and get approximate old version of WP installed and once you have your "old site", upgrade it.

Make backups!

Worst case - hire someone to do it for you, plenty people who would do it for a fair price.

Hope it helps!
