2nd Edition Edits: Is this too much?

In addition to fixing typos and grammar, is it okay to change sentences around and add sentences? I'm not thinking of adding huge blocks of text, just a few subtle changes that would help flow and help the characters act more like themselves. I did do some searching and just couldn't find a straight answer for (fantasy) fiction.
 
Absolutely - it's a second edition not just a minor typo edit. Even new chapters wouldn't be out of place. It's probably not a good habit to get into really - but there's no reason why not.

I agree, any edit where you find a place to improve your story, structure, etc.. take the oportunity.

It's also getting a new cover (same overall design but better...or maybe something completely new, who knows?!?) with series info on it, so it's a good opportunity for "improvements" ;) Thanks for input!
