EXPDP and IMPDP from existing database to new 'scratch' database

Question

Hi All,
THis is the first time i'm trying to export and import (using datapump) from one database into a brand spanking new database.
Source/Target OS - WIndows 2008 R2 Standard
Source/Target - Oracle 11G Release 2 (same patch updates - 11.2.0.3.3)
I took a full expd of the source database.
I created the same directory structure on the target as the source. I created an empty database on the target server with the same name as the source.
I am trying to use impdp to import this full export into the target database, with the end goal being everything is the same on the target as it is on the source (users, tablespaces, data, schemas, etc...).
I am running into some errors (object already exists, a few others to mention). But my question is, is this a proper way of copying a database from one server to a new server?
Thanks in advance

Thanks, here are some of the errors i've received:
ORA-31684: Object type ROLE:"HS_ADMIN_EXECUTE_ROLE" already exists
ORA-39111: Dependent object type OBJECT_GRANT:"ORDDATA" skipped, base object type SEQUENCE:"ORDDATA"."ORDDCM_DICT_A_DA_ID_SEQ" already exists
ORA-39082: Object type TRIGGER:"M_SYS"."MVP_OPD_D_TRG" created with compilation warnings
Cannot set an SCN larger than the current SCN. If a Streams Capture configuration was imported then the Apply that processes the captured messages needs to be dropped and recreated. See My Oracle Support article number 1380295.1.Table "SYSTEM"."DEF$_DEFAULTDEST" exists. Data will be appended to existing table but all dependent metadata will be skipped due to table_exists_action of append
ORA-31693: Table data object "SYSMAN"."MGMT_SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_LOG" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
