A few states have recently tried limiting availability or number of Planned Parenthood centers. A challenge to such efforts could make it up through the courts.
They can overturn decision, yes, but they can't just spontaneously come together to start overturning things. They need to have a relevant case brought in front of them first. Until a case relevant to Roe v. Wade reaches the supreme court, they can't really do anything about it.
Sure they can. They can have a parking ticket case and then overturn Roe if they wanted to. Now, its not done. But nothing precludes them from doing so.

I get that, but the supreme Court (correct me if I'm wrong) can't just undo previous rulings.

They can. A lot of times it's due to times changing, different circumstances, etc. Here's a listing of overturned rulings.
