You may be better off getting someone in to do the work... depending on the thickness of timber your floor has, you can tear engineered floors too bits fairly easily.
Ordinary orbital sander would be better, 120 grit paper...belt sander may be too aggressive.
Floor varnish, is hard wearing... Ronseal etc takes around an hour to go off enough to walk on, but needs to be left 24 hours to cure properly

I agree with Hampshire. And in the final preparation just wipe the floor with some White Spirits before the Ronseal. And go for the Ronseal Diamond Hard.
Followed up by clipping the hounds claws to reduce wheelspinning!
