Normally a direct remux is better because doing it that way when there are gaps/overlaps in the video stream these are not lost, so you keep perfect audio sync. However, if the video stream doesn't have any gaps/overlaps (which should theoretically be the normal case), demuxing and remuxing should work just fine, too. At least with MPEG2 and VC-1. I'm somewhat sceptical about doing this with h264. Had bad experiences with that in the past. Didn't have a problem with demuxing/remuxing MPEG2 and VC-1 yet. But still, if you do that, make sure that you double check audio sync both in the beginning and end of the movie.

I don't really see how adding audio could affect the video, but I can't say for sure. Of course there could also be a bug in mkvtoolnix or something like that.
