"It's not bad, but it's still pretty bad" is a phrase I can see myself saying. Not sure about the other way round - doesn't really work for me, but to each their own...
I see it as similar to "very bad", which would be worse than just "bad".
I think both are correct depending on the inflection
I would rate pretty bad as worse than bad.

Yeah, I think it's contextual.
