I also thought the F-35 was supposed to be cheaper than a f-22 but turned out being more expensive
No, per plane an F-22 is several times more expensive than an F-35. Overall program cost for the F-35 might be more, but there have been 3x as many F-35s produced to date.

Plus, restarting the F-22 production would be expensive. A LOT more goes into he process than simply flipping a switch.
