Is this somehow based on the original Vanced app (which wasn't open source afaik?) or are they essentially beginning from scratch?

The Re in ReVanced is for "Reverse Engineered" Vanced. ReVanced is going to be identical to the original Vanced, but later on (especially since it's open source) more patches/"plugins" will be available.

At first is different because to avoid the same issue as Vanced, it will not ship you patched version of YouTube App but it will ship a patcher.

That mean you'll must have installed YouTube because it will be companion or patch (I'm not sure if it will patch the YouTube app or be a service next to YouTube to apply Vanced feature at runtime)

don't know for sure, but since Vanced wasn't open-source, ReVanced possibly decompiled it and extracted the patches?
