This is essentially what Taylor Swift is doing with her Taylor's Versions. After being ignored when she requested to buy her masters, she essentially did a "Fine I'll do it myself" and is now remastering all of her old work.
From what I've heard, she didn't remaster, she rerecorded those albums. These are new performances.
You're correct they're all new recordings of the songs, not remastered.
Correct. The royalties structure in music has the 2 parts - composition and performance. If you own both, you get 100% of the royalty from all those sales/streams.
