3) reconnect 12V and repeat #1 for a total of at least 3 times - you want the last time to very quickly show full charged within a minute or two.

Grid charging may also be an option.
If I do this and it shows full charge, what does that mean? That the battery pack is fine? Or it's only MOSTLY dead?

If I replace the 12V battery and I can get it started, is it fine to drive to my garage (15 miles away) even if the battery pack is FUBAR?
