(+) Yeah! (+)

...they are elected Vice President and the sitting President passes away?

So, as an example, say in some weird turn, Biden becomes president and makes Obama his VP. If something were to happen to Biden, then Obama would become President again, correct?

Here is Amendment XXII to the constitution. It only specifies limits to elected presidents. It says nothing about successions:

SECTION 1

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

SECTION 2

This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
