Do I need a whole Roof Over?
Recently here in the Pacific Northwest we had a lot of rain, and I recently noticed water discoloration in the rear bedroom, it looks like rust if you see the photos you can see what I mean, I checked...

Throw the tape away. I would re do everything on the roof. If you dont remove the caulk, you at least have to make it good clean enough that the new Dicor self leveler will adhere to the old. Even if you try to remove it the surface will still be very irregular as it's just about impossible to get it all off.
If there are strips or flaps of sealant that are loose you want to remove that stuff. Clean it well and use a small scrub brush so all the cracks come clean than use a leaf blower or let it sit in the sun long enough to be sure all the cracks and crevices are dry before applying the Dicor. I would agree that now is the time to look at all the plastic up there and replace as needed. It wouldn't be surprising that the water damage is down the walls and possibly to the floor. It all depends on how long it has been like that. If you notice ridges or wavy sections under the membrane it's because the plywood is coming apart and buckling. If it's still all smooth that would be a very good sign that the damage is limited.
So you wouldn't recommend Kool Seal either?
