Well, there are many things that need to be considered before you can accurately estimate the cost of building a concrete patio. Firstly, depending on where you live, a building permit may be required and could be expensive. Also, the material you buy depends on your area's climate. For example, if your ground freezes during the winter you will need to buy a special kind of concrete mixture. Ultimately, the cost varies per person/place.

One yard of concrete will cover approximately 90 square feet at a depth of 3-1/2". At an even 3-1/2", you will need just over 3 yards. This does not allow for any footings, turndowns, or a thicker slab.
Depends on the size of your patio.

My patio is cracked very badly. Can I get the concrete resurfaced or do I need to redo it?
Yes, a concrete patio step does in fact need to be on a footing. Without the proper footing foundation, the step will be uneven.
Depends on the size of the patio. Most can be done with only 6"X6" wire mesh.
Well assuming the depth of concrete is going to be 1 meter you will need 846 cubic meters of concrete.

To find out how many yards of concrete you need for your 450 sq ft patio, you would first need to determine the thickness of the concrete you plan to pour. Let's assume a standard 4-inch thickness. One cubic yard of concrete would cover 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth. So for a 450 sq ft patio at 4 inches thick, you would need approximately 5.56 cubic yards of concrete.
