If I reglue, should I take off all the old glue from the rim? from the tire? How would I do that for the tire? Any other differences between a reglue and a new installation?
If the glue is dried, yes, you want to remove it. It isn't hard to get it off the rim - a brass brush should knock it off pretty quickly. I've never had to deal with getting dried glue off a tire though.
