When removing silicone and resealing a bath. Do I need to also remove the bead that goes up with wall from the base of the bath and the corner of the room where the tiles meet?

Are you talking about the silicone that runs in the corner vertically up the tiles? Sometimes best to cut the first 500mm and renew so the transition is all the same new silicone.
Would really comes down to condition but TBH for all it is, it would be just as easy to do it all in a oner.

Looks clean enough to apply over the top - yes I'm that rough 
Just need to ensure the new will take to the old - use a solvent cleaner - IPA - Meths - White spirit etc before applying.
Thanks slight issue with the first bottom 3 tiles in the corner. Sound/feel loose at the top when tapped. The bottom and middle of these 3 tiles feel ok. Needs regrouting would grout hold the top of them that sounds slightly loss?

Grout won't change the 'hollow' sound no - if the grout is to be cut out then I have seen tilers use a thin slurry of adhesive syringed/piped in at the back and that fills the void and left to set. Not sure if that would work with these though gravity would be your friend.
Thanks so would be cement based tile adhesive in a syringe I image. I'll see how they feel when room the grout
Something like that.
Good pointer here - and these guys actually use grout but would be the same process with adhesive I would think
