Generally yes, but not always, eg. „przerobić" means something like „do (an entire thing)” - examples:
Przerobiliśmy już cały materiał = We already did the whole material/program [usually refers to school]
Lepiła z plasteliny i przerobiła głowę na nogę. - She was playing with clay and mad a leg out of a head. (literally "[...] she remade/changed a head to a leg.) | Here actually the meaning is as you said

No, it doesn't convey such a thing. "Przeparkować" for example means "to park a vehicle in another place", and it doesn't imply that anything was wrong with how/where that vehicle was initially parked - it just had to be moved for some reason.
There's no clear rule about what this prefix means. In my opinion, the most frequent senses are "moving something from one place to another" and "accomplishing an action" (especially a long or difficult one). Examples of the former are "przeparkować", "przesunąć", "przenieść", "przełożyć", etc. And of the latter - "przerobić", "przeczytać", "przepisać", "przepłynąć", "przebiec", "przeskoczyć", and so on.

It doesn't just mean "doing the same thing again". The prefix "prze" also often changes the imperfective into the perfective.
