To renew
Consider the following sentence:
"The reason I took luncheon at the Ritz was because Mr. Chaplin was there, and I always like to renew old acquaintances."
In this context, does 'renew' mean 'to see again'?
If so, is 'renew' (as used in this context, a formal or informal (or semi-formal) word?
While, at this, does the word 're-see' exist in English?

THANK YOU.
