Have you check the file charset? You can specify it when calling getDataAsString(charset). Try this:

function importData() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  var file = DriveApp.getFilesByName("Agent Performance.csv")
  var csv = file.next().getBlob().getDataAsString('ISO-8859-1'); //note the charset
  var csvData = Utilities.parseCsv(csv);
  //unless you csv has variable amount of columns per line, you should do this
  if(csvData.length > 0) {
    ss.getSheetByName('CSV Import TEST')
      .getRange(1, 1, csvData.length, csvData[0].length).setValues(csvData);
  } else
    throw 'Blank file';
}
