Using Server REST API, or a custom module, is there a way to restart a single stream among several streams so that it starts playback from the beginning? I know we can restart the application, but that will restart all streams within that application. I want to restart just one stream at a time.

Have a look at the IApplicationInstance.resetMediaCasterStream(streamName)
