As you cannot partitioned a non-partitioned table but have to recreate it, yes you have to recreate the indexes as well.

Note: It is better to locally partitioned your index(es).

You can partition an existing table using the DBMS_REDEFINITION package. An example of which is here.

No you neither partition it, you create a new table which is partitioned and copy the data in it.
And so you have (re)create the index(es) on the new table.
