I'm finding it difficult to edit text that has been shaped into form of a arc.

I would like to change typeface, font size, bend of the arc.
However, whatever I'm trying to change doesn't make any sense.

All changes are visible in completely different scale than in normal text edit "mode".
Font size change is either very subtle or on contrary very radical even though change in px count is the very same.

Can't find how to modify the arc? Or at least how to do it so that whole visual element doesn't change into so to speak three-eyed-fish.

And can't really imagine that I would need to create everything from the scratch if I need to change one or two settings of a "text element"?

I'm using CS5.

EDIT2:
Font size 72px

Font size 6px

Have you tried removing the effect(s) from the text frame's Appearance palette? It actually looks like there may be overlapping/interfering effects. The aim here would be to return the text to a normal state that can be modified, and then re-apply the warp in a more controlled manner.

In my tests, resizing warped text does not act as shown in your screenshots. Is it possible your Character palette scaling is not at 100%? I've circled these in
the screenshot below.

I have received files in the past with corrupted text frames, so it's not out of the question that you have one of these on your hands. The usual tell for corrupt text frames is that they reset to 50 pt font size no matter what, and this does look similar.

If these suggestions do not solve the problem, you may have to recreate the text anew or kick it back.

In Adobe Illustrator,
You can Double click on transformed text so it will be in isolation mode.

now single click on text.

Done,
You can Edit it.
