A redial is a watch whose dial has been stripped and repainted, either to fix damage or to make it look better. Most collectors treat redials as a major flaw, so they sell for far less than watches with original dials.
It depends on whether you value originality. A Rolex service center will service it properly but may replace the dial, hands or bezel insert with current parts. If the watch is collectible, use a vintage specialist or give written instructions and ask for all original parts back.
On vintage and collectible watches, usually yes. Polishing removes metal and softens the case's edges and bevels, and buyers pay a premium for cases that have never been polished.
