So I have a bug fix (green) and owner also made a bug fix (red) but I would like to rework both of them due to discussion we had. I have opened a PR and there is merge conflict that can't be resolved. Should I open a new branch in my fork and close PR or should I google some rebase magic to apply commits to my bug-fix branch.

I'd pull their main, rebase your 2.0 to theirs and then rebase your fix to your 2.0. Then you should have a better view on what has changed between those two. It'll probably result in you cherry picking from your fix.
