@Chris Greetings!
Yes, if you reactivate your Azure free trial account, you should still have the remaining $196 in free credits available to use, as long as it is still within the 30-day free trial period.
Regarding your second question, if you had kept your account enabled, you would have had the $196 in free credits to use until they expire or until you exhaust them. The free credits are allocated to your account for a specific period of time, usually 30 days, and can be used to try out Azure services and features.
Reactivate your account to make the most of your remaining free credits and continue exploring Azure services.
