You are almost there, if you’re going to loop through the same repeater again then you should probable reset the rows as well. Or you may be able to break out of the loop if you reset the rows. You could try something like this.

function get_column_content($columnId){
    if (have_rows("adv_columns",get_the_ID())){
	while(have_rows("adv_columns",get_the_ID())){
	   the_row();
	   if(get_sub_field('column_id')==$columnId){
	      $found= get_sub_field('content');
              break; // found it, don't continue looking
	   }
	}
        reset_rows();
    } // end if have rows
	return $found;
}
