Showing the search query form and enabling search refining
is it possible to display the search form that has been submitted on a search results page?
would be nice for users to be reminded what they searched for - and perhaps to have the option to refine/resubmit their search query directly from the search results page?

It definitely is. Use the query="" parameter with the low_search:form tag to feed it the search details. Then use variables and conditionals to re-fill the form elements.
Take a look at this site, which uses Low Search. It uses a simple search form, which then shows the results plus a "refine results" form (click to open). They use a hidden input field to re-fill the keywords, so the form basically functions as the same query, but more refined.

If I can chime in here I'm wondering if you can give a little more details on how exactly to do this.
For example - how can I display all collections (using checkboxes), but only check the ones that were included in the search. Or display a drop down on sort order, but have the one currently being used selected.
