Do you need to sand after 2 coats of stain if you need to apply a 3rd coat to alter the color?
Yes, sand between every coat.
Can you leave the stain on without wiping it off and just put the gloss right over it?
Yes. I do it by painting the stain on the wood with a paint brush to get an even coat. You can re-coat in a few hours until you get the color you want. Then, you have to let it dry longer than the can says since you didn't wipe off the 'excess.' Wait about twice as long as the can says before you put a covering coat of anything. If you don't let it COMPLETELY dry before you apply the glossy finish, the vapors in the stain will force their way out thru the gloss coat and blister the glossy finish and make a mess. The last time I did this, I let the stain air dry for 3 days before applying the glossy coats. I've had no problems with the results but you have to very patient.

Strip off the old clear coat finish with either a liquid or gel stripper. Clean the surface with alcohol. Once dry, try a small amount of the new, darker stain on an inconspicuous area to check for proper color. Once determined, apply the new stain (preferably an oil-based stain). When the stain is thoroughly dry (1-2 days), apply several coats of clear finish. Let dry and you're done.

Which is more country style painted woodwork or stained woodwork?
It depends on the color of paint and what it is you're painting/staining. When I want a worn look I'll sometimes stain a piece or keep the original stain and then paint over the stain and sand the piece after the paint has dried. That way the stain shows through and I get a more antique, worn finish. This also works well with two different colors of paint, for example, a base coat in winter white and a second coat in a deep red.

Is there a way to paint or stain a pebble coat pool finish in order to regain or change its color?
Yes there are paints available for pools. I have never heard of a stain for pools though. Pebble surface pools don't "loose" their color. What you may be experiencing is a dull calcium or mineral deposit. Deposits can sometimes be cleaned with an acid wash. If it is very bad it can be blasted off by a tile cleaner.
