Yes. ffmpeg has the ability to restream a livestream without reencoding. OBS can do that as well.

ffmpeg -re -i <m3u8_5000kbps_url> -c:v copy -c:a aac -ar 44100 -ab 128k -ac 2 -strict -2 -flags +global_header -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -bufsize 3000k -f flv "<rtmp adress of the video host e.g. youtube>"

There are also apps like this but not for free.

You mean your source is a http://blabla.com/channel.ts and you want your clients to get a .m3u8 link? It depends on the server you are using to stream. You can create your own streaming server with NGINX.
You can also use Twitch, Telerium.tv or whatever and you can grab the .m3u8 URL from them.
