Does veo- have an English cognate?
Yes.
Although,it occurs to me that this is not a prefix but rather a word prefixed to a verb to modify its meaning. By that, I mean that is not a prefix in the same way *ga- is, for instance.

No, but the adverb is by far the most common usage. I expect most people, when asked, would describe it as an adverb even though it can have other uses.

Yes
EDIT: and if so, does the whole word mean something like "have a good urination" or "urinate fully"? *welamīganą ?]
No
Edit: just for fun, the Modern Gotski descendant of the word you proposed would be:
веoмaьан/veomajan
/veomaːjan/
