Other video here : https://imgur.com/wOMpqnX , in this video you can see that if I backpedal, the freewheel re-engages and the wheel then starts spinning.

That's a new problem to me, so I'm asking for your knowledge !

I planned on disassembling the freewheel and clean/regrease it, is it likely to solve this ?

That's my gf's bike that she got when she was young, and let's say she's not the best with bike maintenance so it's safe to say the wheel has never been serviced !

Neither was the bike, I cleaned and restored everything else, but I didn't bother disassembling the wheels hubs.

When I tuned the derailleur on the stand, I had no issue, but as soon as I test rode it, this happened.

Is the freewheel toast ?
