You need to import the *.sql file (your backup of the joomla database) into Mamp via (I assume) phpmyAdmin.
I don't know what the "db folder" holds but I not familiar with MAMP specifically. However, like any local host web server system (be it Mamp, XAMPP, WAMPServer etc) you need to have exported your database from phpMyAdmin (or another database tool).
I think you've lost the site for good, judging from your explanation of your action.
In hindsight: using Akeeba Backup would be easier, and to restore, use Akeeba's Kickstart tool to restore a site. The reinstall of MAMP sounds like it wipes-out everything in the process of that software's update process.
I assume you're on a Macintosh. On Windows, this wouldn't be an issue because using WAMPServer, you can install the main applications update without destroying the databases and sites.
