What would be the best way to prep the car as far as dent removal and sanding procedure? (sanding pad grits used in order?) and ( should I use a filler for the dents or pull them?) also, what should I do about paint peeling?... I have one little spot that is peeled to the bare metal. The car previously had a cheap paint job that looks bad and dull now.

Double check all your coolant and oil lines....., before you take off and see a cloud of smoke behind you!
