Is it possible to re-initialize a smart card, i.e. erase all certificates and
generate new keys, using Enterprise CA on Window 2003 Server?

Best regards

Not using the CA, no. For that you need software from the smart card
vendor.

.... and also I think you might need the PIN or password used to initialize
the smart card, or else the card might be completely useless.

All smart cards have an Admin PIN which is what would be required here.
No need for the user's PIN.

Unless the user was the admin, and the admin is the user that is now
departed. For better or worse, my smart card is set up that way.
