I've been patient for two years and now it turns out the teaser from last year was meaningless and they haven't even started yet?

They've been busy with all that Lucky Star and Clannad stuff, so what can we expect?
With Ishihara and the bulk of the company's staff on Clannad After Story, it's unlikely that any full scale Haruhi production can occur.

And that when they do start up it'll partially be a remake?

New Haruhi =/= Remake
It's a play on semantics for marketing reasons. 2nd Season usually suggests a mere continuation (although this isn't always true), whereas the idea of a new Haruhi suggests something refreshing and extraordinary. They want the next season to be viewed as both a story sequel and a new, freshly envisioned product.
In the video game business, we see this kind of planning quite often (i.e. Resident Evil 4, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, Elder Scrolls III, etc.).
