If the TCP connection is lost...is the effectively session over and can not be re-established on another socket?
Yes.
In a mysql client sense, I would need to re-establish a connection and set my session variables again rather than just reconnect using the session ID from the "dropped" connection?
Yes. There is no way for a client to specify a "desired" session ID. The session ID is only used once - the server notifies the client of the ID used in the initial handshake upon connection establishment, even before authentication is attempted. Take a look at the docs for protocol details:

I apologize about these basic mysql-mechanics questions - I need to satisfy our auditors, so I need to understand =)
The auditors should know their trade and not simply try pressing requirements they've read about in an IT manager magazine.
