Depends on the reason for the restraining order but I don't think, considering its temporary for whatever reason, it would count as a criminal offense.
No, but violations of such do. A restraining order is a civil order.
If it was only a CIVIL COURT restraining order, it will not appear on your criminal record. HOWEVER, if there was any criminal action associated with it, or which was the cause for it being issued, (e.g.: domestic battery), THAT is a criminal matter and it WILL appear on your criminal record.
If no criminal charges accompanied the incident that brought about the restraining order, there will be no record of it on your criminal history. However, if there was a criminal incident connected with it (e.g.: assault or battery - etc), THAT offense will remain on your adult criminal history record.

Unless the Court orders the record expunged (destroyed), it is still a part of public record.
Each state enacts laws pertaining to such issues. In some jurisdictions the entry will remain until it (ORS, NCO, DVPO, WPO etc.) is vacated by the court. Restraining orders are not usually not open public records and are available to "those persons with need to know" and at the discretion of the issuing judge. My understanding is a restraining order has to be renewed every three years?or less according to the Judge that made the order. Check with your local court recorders office or your local family law facilitator.
What happens if both parties violate a restraining order?
If you filed the restraining order, you can withdraw it. You must go back to the court where you filed the restraining order and ask that it be dropped.
No evidence is necessary for a temporary restraining order. What happens is when you go into court and get a restraining order they give a temporary restraining order until trial. You can then push the date back a few times and extend it. Some people would argue this is how you get custody of children in a divorce situation. For a long term restraining order you will need documented cases of abuse.
Usually, a "temporary restraining order" will expire according to its own terms. This means that the order itself will specify a date or event when the order is no longer effective. If a restraining order does not have such a limitation in it, then it is not a temporary order. If you are the person the restraining order benefits and you wish to drop it, you should apply to the court for an order vacating the restraints.
A restraining order is a civil court action and does not appear on your criminal history record - UNLESS - you were arrested for domestic violence BEFORE the order was issued - OR - were arrested as a result of violating the order. In those cases it WILL show up.
Yes, return to court and request that the restraining order be withdrawn.
