Yes, but rarely in full. I’ll often go back to a book to clarify a detail or to look for a specific passage and then just end up finishing it...

I think I've reread ten out of over 1,000 that I've read. All the time. I'm reading "Ordinary People" for about the fourth time now. I even re-read Agatha Christie murder mysteries. Of course, the whodunit element is always fun and very present, but the thing about Agatha Christie is atmosphere atmosphere atmosphere. Her books are yummy.

Sometimes I do. In particular, I periodically reread classic Stephen King stuff. In fact I've been thinking of rereading Cujo next. I've read "Carrie" probably five times.

If its interesting sure. I never realized regarding Fahrenheit 451 for an example that the captain might've been like Montag at one point as well.

Yes, I've done it many times. Every 5-7 years I reread all the original Conan Doyle Holmes stories. The Harry Potter series. Asimov's Foundation series. The Travis McGee series. About 5 years ago I read all the original Nero Wolfe stories, many of them rereads. The Abhorsen series by Garth Nix. There's more, but I'll stop there. I've read the Foundation trilogy a few times. I've read a few other Foundation novels that were written much later when Asimov was more consumed with word count, pushing out ponderous novels that seemed interminable. But the original trilogy definitely has a charm and features the best surprise 'reveal' I have seen in all of SF literature. Nice material to re read.

I have read the entire King James version of the Bible three times. Other than that, a few books I did not enjoy the first time because I had to read them in school (Great Expectations, Oliver Twist, Dune, Lord of the Flies and several Shakespeare plays).

Not often, actually. Those which are easily digestible and which I read years ago I will sometimes return to - I re-read Terry Pratchett from time to time. I've been meaning to re-read The Lord of the Rings, which I have read three times but not for about eighteen years now.
There are certainly books which I would like to read again some day, given the time - but there are so many I haven't yet read, and life is so short...
