Probably brush or paint pads, especially if the doors are being done in
situ. Spraying would be quicker but if you need to hire/buy the equipment
then that is probably not cost effective and there is the problem of drift
onto nearby walls and floors especially if done in situ, and runs if you are
not used to spraying.

Yes, clean the doors up, strip sand and chemical clean if necessary.

I always find a brush perfectly good, but tend to take the doors off first and stain them outside or in a shed.

just what the guys above me said, a brush should do the trick. it is much more safer and convenient if you would varnish/stain the door away from the interior of the house as possible.
