Recreate from RMAN copies

Question

Hi,
in 8.1.7 , to create another database:
we have done
1-copy all the data, log, ctrl and archived log files by RMAN :
ALTER TABLESPACE XXXPP_IDX BEGIN BACKUP;
host ocopy S:\ORADATA\
and this for all DATA, log, archived logs and control file.
then transfered them to another server.
And we will use the following script :
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "NEWNAME" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
I have just some questions :
1- what should we do with the copy of controlfile ?
2-should we copy the copy of archived log in ARCHIVE_LOG_DEST of NEWDB ?
3- should we recover like follows :
RECOVER DATABASE
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP ADD TEMPFILE mytempfile
Many thanks before.

Yours scenario is not clear to me what you want to do it seems to me cloning the database,if it is then whats the use of create control file ?
create control file is done when
* All copies of your existing control files have been lost through media failure.
*You want to change the name of the database.
*You want to change the maximum number of redo log file groups, redo log file  
members, archived redo log files, datafiles, or instances that can concurrently have
the database mounted and open.
why you are taking backup of redolog file.
