When you finance (or refinance) using your house as collateral (aka security) the lender is using the available value of your house to get back the loan(s) if you default. If this happens it will cost the lender money (thousands or even tens of thousands) for the process of getting it back. For this reason a prudent lender will only lend you a percentage of the current sale value of the house.
If you already have a mortgage, the difference between your property's value and what you owe on it is your equity in the property, and that is the value on which they will lend. You said in your question that the value and the amount owed are the same; this means that your equity is zero, so you would not expect to get an equity line as well as rewriting the original loan.

Yes you may, in a refinance your HELOC could be paid off the same way as any other type of debt such as a credit card. The same goes for a second mortgage, as long as you have built enough equity in your property you can refinance and pay off the 2nd mortgage and leave yourself with just one mortgage payment.
Both refinancing and home equity loans release finance from the equity a person holds in their property. The difference that a loan is taken out based on the amount of debt owed on the property against the value if it was sold, but is separate form your mortgage. Refinancing will replace your current mortgage with a new one. Equity Loans generally carry a higher rate of interest that a mortgage.
An individual can refinance his or her investment property by lower one's monthly mortgage payment and increase one's rental income. Use one's equity to purchase additional property.
