If $intlimits_gamma f(z)dzinBbb R$ does it imply $f(z)in Bbb R~forall zingamma$?
This is from a proof where $gamma$ is a circle and we have $1={1over 2pi}intlimits_gamma f(z)dz={1over 2pi}intlimits_gamma Re~f(z)dz$ and I'm unsure how the second equality is justified.
Clearily $0=intlimits_0^{2pi}ie^{it}dt$ and $ie^{it}notin Bbb R$...

The answer is no. For example, if $gamma$ is a closed path and $f(z)$ is holomorphic, then the integral is $0$, and $0 in Bbb R$. This does not mean that $f$ is real on $gamma$.

Also $int_gamma f(z) dz in mathbb{C}setminusmathbb{R}$ does not imply that there is a $z$ with $f(z) in mathbb{C}$. Take $f equiv 1$ and $gamma: [0, pi] to mathbb{C}$ with $gamma(t) := e^{it}$. (Naively one could see curve integration as just summation of the function values over the curve, but this severely fails!)

$$frac1{2pi} int_gamma f(z) mathrm dz = 1$$
Comparing real parts:
$$Re left( frac1{2pi} int_gamma f(z) mathrm dz right) = 1$$
Taking real parts commutes with everything:
$$1 = Re left( frac1{2pi} int_gamma f(z) mathrm dz right) = frac1{2pi} Re left( int_gamma f(z) mathrm dz right) = frac1{2pi} int_gamma Re left( f(z) right) mathrm dz$$
Notice, though, that $displaystyle int_gamma Re left( f(z) right) mathrm dz = int_gamma f(z) mathrm dz$ does not imply $Re left( f(z) right) = f(z)$.

Integration over a curve $gamma : [a,b] to mathbb{R}^n$ is defined as follows:
$$
int_gamma f(z) dz=int_a^b f(gamma(z))gamma'(z) dz
