Python 3.5, 118 113 164 bytes:

from re import*
def R(U):Z='(?<!\d)-\d+|\d+|[()]';O=sub(Z,'',U);print(eval(sub(Z,'%s',U).translate(str.maketrans(O,O[::-1])).replace('^','**')%tuple(findall(Z,U))))

A named function. Can probably be golfed down more. This will take quite a while and apparently plenty of memory to compute the solution for the input:

((22^22)+2*2^2^2^2*2-2+222222+22222*-2222-2*222*2*2+2^-2+(2+2+2+2+2)+222/222+2+22*2*2)*2*2*2

I started processing this with my program about 30 minutes ago as of the time of this edit (9:52 PM on July 27, 2016) and it is still going. EDIT: Well, it eventually started to take up too much memory, so I had to stop it at around 1 hour after I started, at around 10:52 PM on July 7, 2016.

EDIT # 2: Well, even for the updated last test case it's pretty much the same thing, as it takes quite a while for my program to start finding the answer before it eventually quits out on me with error code 137.

Python 3, 195 bytes:

import re;I=input();x=[i for i in I if i in'+-*/^'];print(eval(''.join([i[0]+i[1]for i in[i for i in map(list,zip(*[[i for i in re.split('[+*/^-]',I)],x[-1:]+x[:-1]+['']]))]]).replace('^','**')))

Takes input on STDIN and leaves a number on STDOUT. I know that R. Kap already posted a Python answer, but the method I used is actually pretty interesting, so I thought I'll post this anyway.

The program first makes an the list: [chunks splitted by math chars, math chars rotated to the right]. It then transposes the array, flattens, converts to string, and evaluates.


Dyalog APL, 30, but soon to be 16 bytes

⍎w⊣((w∊f)/w)←¯1⌽w∩f←'+-×÷'⊣w←⍞

Ungolfed, explained version:

w ← ⍞ Prompt for input (of the expression) and assign to w

f ← '+-×÷' assign the symbols to f

((w ∊ f) / w) ← ¯1 ⌽ w ∩ f using membership of f as mask, reassign those positions in w to the corresponding character in the cyclic 1-step-right rotated intersection of w and f (the symbols)

⍎w execute the modified expression

There is no special handling of minus/negative, because APL uses the distinct symbols - and ¯.

See the rotation of symbols on TryAPL!

In version 16 it will be much shorter as a function which takes the expression as argument:

⍎¯1∘⌽@(∊∘'+-×÷')

Execute the negative one step rotation ¯1∘⌽ done on @ members of the symbols set (∊∘'+-×÷').
