Answer 1

You can't automatically "push" the photo stream photos from your iPad photo stream folder back to your photo stream.  You have to get copies of these photos to your iPad's camera roll as new photos for them to be uploaded to your photo stream.  There are a couple of ways to do this:
Open the photos one at a time on your iPad and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream.
Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream.
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer full resolution copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Once on your computer you then have to delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll again.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)
