Here's the excerpt from the bullet point, FYI:

Access changes for sandbox users:
A sandbox refresh deletes and recreates the sandbox as a new copy of the production organization. In effect, this reverses any manual access changes you’ve performed. If you created sandbox-only users, they will no longer exist, and a user’s profile and permissions revert to their values in the production organization. This means that after a refresh, any access changes will need to be repeated in the new copy.

Yes, profile information is migrated from production, along with all other user information.

Essentially a sandbox refresh wipes out your previous sandbox and replaces it with your current production state.

For more information on what is copied, see this document: https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=data_sandbox_implementation_tips.htm&language=en_US  In particular, look at the first bullet point under "Access changes for sandbox users"

Hi,

Yes, Profiles should get migrated to the sandbox. A sandbox is an exact replica of production, and when you refresh a sandbox, it basically deletes the old copy and stores the new copy.
