It depends. There is no simple answer to this question. Writing in the memo only may not be sufficient.

No. This is a legal falcity which lay people cooked up. It's not true.

If the amount is disputed by the parties and a payment in full is made and knowingly accepted, it is an accord and satisfaction. A valid argument of payment in full can be made.
