You might be able to just refinish it without sanding.
When you wipe the bad areas with a little water or wax, does the finish come back? if so you don't need to sand the whole thing down. Just refinish it.
After you do, what you are going to do. keep it waxed. You want to wear the wax, not the finish.
A floor is no different than a front door. You don't need to entirely strip a front door in order to give it another coat of varnish.
If you tint your varnish, you can darken the entire floor a little.

I thought refinishing was sanding the old finish off and applying new finish.
