Rehaping 100 year old hard wood floors

Yesterday we closed on an old craftsmen style house, we started painting and ripping up carpet and I found painted hardwood floors in good shape. We are happy to save on flooring now we have to sand and stain the floors but have no clue what to do. Would be better off doing it ourselves or hiring it done? If we should do it ourselves any pointers on what to do.

We also have some rooms with plywood on top of hardwood. This poses us two questions, should we assume the flooring is damaged under and leave the plywood? If we take up the plywood what is a good way to take it up without damaging the flooring?
