Is this the official castle price?

Yes — adult admission is fixed by Osaka City at ¥1,200. Resellers cannot sell below that rate; the benefit of buying ahead is QR entry and skipping the purchase line.

Can I re-enter on the same day?

No — this is a one-time admission ticket. Plan your visit so you allow enough time inside the tower.
