Is there any way to use this process to fix the problems?
BookCreator (BC) will work for you but looking at the PDF file it will be a labor intensive process. BC is a book editing/book tool that runs withing MS Word. It is designed to help format MS Word documents for eBook, either as they are written or by importing the text into MS Word.

I might recommend looking into MobiCreator from MobiPocket which imports PDF books and creates MOBI books, which are read by Kindle.

Not the most ideal way of doing it, but at least it worked for me
MJH is right make sure the text is using the "_1 Text" style. Also I noticed when importing HTML to MS Word some hard line returns are not treated as new paragraphs. Since indents only happen on new paragraphs the text is not indented. When I import HTML to MSWord doc I always run the menu option "Tools| ASCII LF -> Word Paragraphs" this along with setting the right style fixes most indentation problems.

IGNORE HERE
The technical answer is I believe when importing HTML to MS Word the <BR> are treated as LF(11 ASCII) and <DIV> and <P> are treated as paragraphs CR(13 ASCII).

By running the menu tool noted all carriage return and line feeds are converted to carrage returns
