Expired domain recovery

Where could I learn about that?

Another thing is, the domain I want to register and redirect to mine belonged to the same website before they switched to the one that is mine now. So the compatibility is 100%.

Thanks.
With full compatibility there is no problem, you can safely connect them.

Is it advisable to do the redirect to the homepage? Or maybe it's better to redirect it to my blog as that's my main focus and the domain I want to redirect was a blog originally.
Some anchors on the domain I want to redirect to my domain are just the name of that domain which is slightly different from my domain's name (of course). However, my domain has no "-" between three words both domains' names are comprised of. That's the only difference in both domains' names.

Didn't you say it's the same site? All URLs should match and redirect all URLs of the old one to the same URLs of the new one.
 
Recovery of rankings is possible, but it depends on the quality of the backlinks and any penalties from Google.
 
You can definitely change the topic of a domain, Google is actually pretty good at determining the content of the website.
Do I have to rebuild all the pages with backlinks as they were originally? Can I just redirect them (product pages with backlinks) to relevant new category pages? I'm going to stick to the orignal topic of the domain.

Yes it can. Many people write content on low competitive keywords to bring traffic and then sell guestpost links.

Do I need to rebuild the original website or is highly aligned content enough?
 
There’s a belief that Google tries to understand a website’s content through its backlinks (anchor text, surrounding text, the entire page’s text, and url). This might be part of link ranking: Google has expectations for what a page’s content should be based on the link, and there’s the actual indexed content of that page. If the expectations differ significantly from the actual content, Google might reduce the link’s value. This is just a THEORY.

Therefore, it’s a good practice to restore the content that backlinks are pointing to, ensuring it matches the anchor texts and the content of the referring pages.

Alternatively, you can create new content that meets the same criteria.
 
If an expired domain name is used for content that is completely unrelated to the original topic, the chances of recovering rankings will be reduced, but not completely impossible. If you want to recover, you need to optimize the domain name content and backlinks. Let the ranking gradually go up.
 
Can an expired domain recover for Google rankings if it's been used for a topically irrelevant (to the backlink profile and the content of the original website) website?
Yes it's possible. But you'll need to work very hard to do this.
