Wet or dry sanding is a personal preference. Sometimes we do both, for example, on a job like yours we might dry block with 320 to remove the texture from the primer, then guide coat again and sand with 600 wet to refine the scratches.
Yep, as I am getting through the passenger side, I'm finding a few more highs/lows. I'm planning on hitting her with 2 more good coats and block again

Whether to reprime the whole car is dependent on how many areas need more work, if you plan to step down to a finer grit is there enough material on there now? Take some solvent based wax and grease remover or mineral spirits and wipe/wet down each panel so you can see how straight they are and if they need more work. I like to use 600 as my final sanding grit for higher end jobs especially if it's a lighter metalic but there's a lot of people that stop at 320dry and it's less of a concern with solid colors.
Yep, planning on sealing it with white epoxy before the red SPI base. Im finding a few more spots and am planning to re-coat, and sand her with 400 dry and call it good. By then she will be straighter than any car I've ever owned and should look pretty darn good.
Thanks guys
