Is this true? ..
Yes, it is essential a ticket change -- you are changing the canceled ticket. Note the ticket should be visited in the Canceled tab of Manage Reservations.

Yes but they need to be seperate PNRs. Change the orginal ticket for yourself and the residual can be applied to a second new ticket. The wiki covers this process in more details.

correct, you can not fund an existing ticket with the cancel ticket credit.
