Wrong. You would not be restoring anything, but starting a new attack.
So the command might be e.g.:
john --session=rockyou --wordlist=rockyou.txt rar-hash.txt
You can also try adding "--fork=2", although this specific attack is
expected to complete in a couple of hours anyway.
The "--session=rockyou" is so that you don't overwrite progress made by
your previously running attack, and can continue that one if desired.
In fact, you can just keep it running simultaneously (which also
eliminates the need for "--fork=2").

Hmm. This raises doubts whether you're even supposed to have that
password. ;-) That said, you can put the likely "base words" in a text
file and then use:
john --session=custom --wordlist=custom.txt --rules=all rar-hash.txt
This will test more "different variants" than you'd test manually.

This doesn't really matter, because either 15 or 20 is way out of reach
for a (semi-)exhaustive search against a RAR archive, whereas when
you're testing e.g. the RockYou list you can do so without having to
restrict it by password length.
