1. No
2. Personally I wouldn't, a bad old video is still getting traction and is another way for viewers to find your content, better to just make an updated unique version (don't just do a copy-paste of the old video, make it different)
3. I think I answered this in #2

Thanks for the instant reply ,
If I upload the new video on the same topic with alterations und uniqueness , then should i go for the same title keywords or need some change on thumbnail and title both , will both videos will come on search list for somebody?

Andrew gave a great answer to this here https://community.tubebuddy.com/index.php?threads/39011/

make an updated video on it if you can. THEN point back to the older video and use the both of them to lead to suggested traffic. Re-evaluating if the video is clear can help, but look at impressions and CTR those matter JUST AS MUCH if not MORE!
