Four exclamation points is needed for the rarest to be guaranteed.

I knonw I need to build up watts fresh, but does my step counter carry over between walks on the same day? Like, I have about 10k steps today, and could in theory catch a flying or surfing Pikachu - if I started a new walk, would I need 10k more steps?

Yes, the exclamation points for the rarest pokemon appear four times, but I think the highest it goes is "!!!" For the rarest Pokemon, I see a "!" then another "!" then a "!!" and then a "!!!" but I've never seen a "!!!!" at all.

As for the second part of your post, I'm not sure, but that does bring up a question that I'd like to ask.

So, in one day, does having more steps mean you are more likely to run into a rare Pokemon? Does anyone know?

Yeah, Serebii confirms.

You can't even see the rarest until you get a certain number of steps.
