When sanding to remove the old finish you have to be very careful not to sand thru the veneer as it is very thin. Can also change the contour of the wood if sanded too much. Most prefer using a chemical stripper.
Personally I like using sanding sealer it gives you a good idea of what it's going to look like as you go along. Wood filler is for filling in small dings, dents, and small chips of missing veneer. You may have it mixed up w/ grain filler which used to fill in the grain in wood that has porous grain like mahogany or walnut.
Toned lacquers are the the easiest as they are available in aerosol cans. Mohawk is a popular supplier for all of these refinishing supplies

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
