I just want to clarify. If I have talked to a villager in another town and they said they will move to mine, if i use this method I can control where their house will be put but if I reset it will be that same villager again only their house will be in a different place. Is that correct?

Correct!

Yes, I did that with Rosie, I got her from another town, it also works with villagers that move in from the camp, I did that with Ruby ^^
So much effort went into naming those characters!
All of mine get called L. Originally it was Luca*, which was quickly shortened to Lu, but eventually I gave up and just stuck to the first letter. Occasionally he gets called K if I mistype.* The love interest in a novel I wrote. Coincidentally, also one letter off the name of my friend's son. xP
This trick is always a fantastic option - although it's frustrating if you're too fussy. x) 3-4 times I've gone into the game with this trick, only to find that the placement/villager or the camper is perfect. It's always worth doing though just in case.

I think people have asked this before, but I didn't see an answer.
If you have 10 villagers and 1 moves out, is it possible to get a random one not from camp or wi-fi?

As far as I'm aware, I don't think the answer to this is known at the moment. :/
If anyone has evidence that proves me wrong, please go right ahead! I've been asking this very same question for weeks.

^^ I would experiment with this, but I currently have two villager exchanges I have to conduct. 
So, I'll have to wait awhile before I can see if that happens.

You can still practise with it and chose where they put their houses in your town. ;D Infact it may be helpful seeing as a lot of people seem to get something wrong, or forget to save or accidetally load etc. Atleast you'll have the safety net of not accidentally landing yourself a villager you don't want.

It will! Also, I've noticed that when you delete a character, or even when a villager moves, the dirt patch grows back significantly faster even without flowers or trees

I have Angus putting his fence up today (woohoo!) I reset a few times and now the house keeps appearing in exactly the same spot! I haven't saved once, I've made a new character for each reset. Is it just bad luck? About 5 times now the house has been in exactly the same place! The only thing I have done is close the ds because I thought I had to go out. I closed it and thought I could carry on trying later. How can the game remember anything if I haven't saved?
Did you discover the fenced plot with your mayor? If not its probably just bad luck, keep trying

No I made a new character every time. It's just been 5 resets and then the plot is in the same place every time with every new character :/

Is your town rather full of PWP's and stuff villagers can't put their house on top of / near? I think you need 7 spaces between 2 public works to have room for a villager to move inbetween them. So if you have loads it really limits where they can put their houses.

Yeah I don't have a lot of space. The game seemed to really wanted me to have the house there and I've actually figured out a way of making it kind of cool so it's all worked out in the end
You need to make a brand new character each time.
