For question 2, I worked out the answer. I didn't put "me" in admin
group after it was recreated. After assigning it to admin group, all
the rest is fine. I didn't think if had an effect, but I guess I was
wrong.

Still need help on question 1 though...

I'm not sure I follow the logistics of all the changes but it sounds like
you're still dealing with a permissions issue. When it comes to documents
and other personal files, "owner" rights supersede administrator rights. If
XP views your new account as a different person than the one that created
the files then it would deny access to those protected files. It doesn't
know that you're still you. It just sees the SIDs. To regain access, take
ownership:
