Can sedimentary rocks be formed at the bottom of lakes?
Yes they can. Their facies is called "lacustrine".
Why must water evaporate or be pressed out for sedimentary rock to form?
The expulsion of fluids which occupy the pore spaces in sediments gives way to the precipitation of solid minerals which bind the sedimentary particles together into rock.

How can a sedimentary rock form a new sedimentary rock?
If the original rock is eroded or broken away and then returned to sedimentary-forming conditions, it will form another sedimentary.
