However, it doesn't reset values to the BIOS settings (I guess it

Indeed BIOS values aren't stored anywhere so the only way to go back to
them is to cold boot the machine.

I can explain negative values: BIOS sets offset to 72, so when set to
10 it will decrease by 62 instead of adding 10 :-)
72 is an unusually high offset. It might have to do with PECI sensor
type where values are reported relatively to a limit. Different
monitoring chips handle this case differently.
Yes, that is usually what happens with PECI. The 'offset' is really
the maximum temperature, since PECI delivers the difference to that
temperature.
