They would do that in order to reserve the right to re file the suit at a later date. If they did not dismiss it and it went to the judge to decide and they lost due to lack of evidence they would not be able to sue you again. But if they withdraw the suit they can refile when they can prove their case.

What is a dismissal without prejudice?

Since it is voluntary, it would seem to indicate that the prosecutor requested that the court dismiss the charge, subject to its being re-institued at some later time, rather than by the prosecutor simply Nolle Prossing it.It is an order issued by a judge dismissing the charges that were brought in the case - usually for some legal insufficiency, or lack of evidence, of the case itself.There are two types of dismissal:Dismissal WITH Prejudice, and Dismissal WITHOUT Prejudice.WITHOUT Prejudice means that the charges MAY be re-instituted and brought before court again.In addition: In civil cases a party may take or request and get a voluntary dismissal of a claim (whether a plaintiff's complaint or a defendant's counterclaim, etc) if, for example, that party is not capable of proceeding with his/her case at that particular time. The claim may be reinstated or refiled at a later date, provided the statute of limitations governing that claim has not expired.

What is an involuntary dismisssal?

The party who brings the case may dismiss the case at anytime, generally, and sometimes with stipulations, agreements. That would generally be considered a voluntary dismissal, i.e. dismissal for their own reasons, likely. On the other hand the opposing party may ask the court, by motion, too dismiss the case brought against them; and the court may grant that motion to dismiss, and dismiss the case. The involuntary dismissal may occur because, for example, a party fails to comply with rule requirement or requirements in his/her "pleadings."

Yes, an order for dismissal does not wipe out the record. For that you would need to petition the court to have the record expunged. ALSO: A LOT depends on WHAT KIND of dismissal you received. Dismissal WITHOUT prejudice means the same charge can be re-instituted against you again. Dismissal WITH prejudice means that that same charge can't be brought against you again for that particular offense.
