Using Adobe premiere, Is there a way to increase video quality, not to HD, but better quality? Also, will replaying the video on the camcorder before putting it into the computer hurt the quality of video when I finally put it in the computer? Also, when video is put threw a USB cord, is that a form of compression?

"Using Adobe premiere, Is there a way to increase video quality"
Not really - you can play with things like the colour balance, exposure etc but whether you're getting an overall improvement is questionable.
"Also, will replaying the video on the camcorder before putting it into the computer hurt the quality of video when I finally put it in the computer?"
No. If it's a tape based camcorder you'll wear the tape out eventually, but it's not a real problem.
"Also, when video is put threw a USB cord, is that a form of compression?"
Not exactly. If you've got a tape based camcorder the video data has to be streamed - you can't go back and resend the last couple of bytes if your PC missed them because it was busy doing something else. USB isn't good at streaming so tape based camcorders use firewire for the video and mostly just use USB for transferring stills. I say "mostly" because some camcorders have a "USB streaming" mode - it's mainly so that you can use the camcorder as a webcam and it works by compressing the video. Unfortunately that compression lowers the quality and often leads to problems with AV synch when you try and edit the video.

What brand and model(s) camcorder can be used to get this same exact quality video?

Answer
The best Quality Video Camcorder in the Consumer Level Camcorder Market, is a MiniDV tape Camcorder. HD Camcorders, that being any Camcorder storing the Video it shoots to anything but tape, and DSLR cameras, all interpolate the Video. What that means, as the take video and store it on the storage media, they take one frame from the lens, several from the internal electronics within the Camcorder, one frame from the lens, several from the internal electronics within the Camcorder, one frame from the lens, several from the internal electronics within the Camcorder, and so on until the end of your Video.
Looks like this, where lens frames are + and camera made frames are >
+>>>>>>+>>>>>>>+>>>>>>>+>>>>>>+>>>>>>> and so on
The frames made by the HD camcorder internal electronics, not from the lens, are 80% of any HD Camcorder's videos. They are all made using an algorithm based on the frame from the lens before and after these frames. Mostly impossible to edit
Furthermore, you can get a MiniDV tape Camcorder for under $600, to even try to get a HD camcorder that could shoot as good or better Quality Video, you would need to spend $5400 to find one that could.
