I’m guessing this spell doesn’t count as a refocus for the familiar ability focused rejuvenation. It just regains focus points ‘as if’ you refocused, right?

Correct, you are not refocusing, you are gaining Focus Points as if you refocused. It's worded in this way so that you can regain multiple points rather than just one, like other effects say. If it counted as refocusing it would say "Gains the effects of Refocusing".


And does it also mean you can regain focus from divine inspiration even if you haven’t spent focus points, as required by refocus, since it isn’t technically refocusing?


How would you regain, if you haven't spent any?

Do you mean gain above your normal max?
Definitely not over 3, and I would say not over normal either since the gain is as if Refocusing, and Refocus would never let the Focus Pool go above its normal amount.

For times when you refocus from 0 to 1 focus point but you have a max pool of 2 focus points. I can’t refocus again to 2 since I just refocused. Divine Inspiration, if it does work this way, would be one of the few ways to regain that 1 focus point you normally couldn’t.

No, you still follow the rules for refocusing on how many you gain, but it also doesn't count as refocusing. So you could spend 2 points, cast the spell to regain 1, then refocus to regain 1, and be back at 3.
