Is this normal? I feel like I covered so many experiences in either my PS or my activities list that I'm being slightly repetitive with a lot of secondary questions. Is it normal to use a lot of the same material but talk about it differently?

They want your secondary money. $100x15000 applicants = 1.5 million dollars basically free

Totally normal

Yeah I felt the same way. So do medschools rely mainly on the primary apps to select the interviewees since it seems that the secondaries are primarily used to make money?

To hijack - Should secondary essays just be paragraph(s) answering the question, or do you need the whole intro/conclusion shebang?

No, I am a reapplication an I received feedback from two schools I interviewed with. The secondaries are very important once you have interviewed to determine if you are accepted.
