First off yes I’ve read the tooltip, I know its a ramping dot that starts off slow and does more damage over time. My main question is how does refreshing it work? Does it start the ramp over again, starting from low damage and going back up again or will it keep the damage it refreshed at?
It restarts. Don’t clip DoTs in classic.
Refreshing it will clip off late high ticks in favor of early low ticks. You should let it run its course.

For detail, Curse of Agony ticks 12 times in total. 50% of the damage done by Curse of Agony is done in the last 4 ticks (18s-24s), so if you clip it early you’re losing at the very least 12.5% of the damage, assuming you only clip off the last tick. This is very bad.
It doesn’t stay at “max stacks” like in retail. It restarts from the beginning, every time. Never clip this DoT.
