if a file is restored, does it fire the trigger for each record

No.

- i.e. should I remove the trigger before and re-add it
after, as part of the process of restoring the file?

No.

if a file with a trigger is restored, should the trigger be restored
with it

Yes.

- i.e. should the trigger reside in the same library as the
file (TRGLIB on ADDPFTRG command)?

Yes.

or does it matter?

Yes, unless you ensure the trigger program is restored before the file.
