Pages does not import exported PDFs, nor are they selectable in Pages file chooser. If you have access to MS Word 16.31 or later, you can tell it to open that exported Pages PDF document and it will convert it into a Word document. You can then open that saved Word .docx in Pages.


You can drag and drop a single-page PDF onto a Pages document and it will become a scalable/resizable document object. You only have access to the first page, even if you do drag and drop a multi-page PDF into it.


There is a dedicated Pages for Mac Community available to you for these questions.
