If it's matte then it likely won't need a sand, although a light one won't hurt.  Just undercoat and top coat; no need for a primer unless it's bare wood.

Do you really need to bother with undercoat in this situation. Normally I would just put two coats of paint on, although not an expert !

I always avoid the DIY shop's own brand paints, as they seem to contain more water than paint!

I found Wickes Trade Satinwood to be quite good. More expensive than their standard paint, but about the same price as Dulux standard, but cheaper than Dulux trade. They do no do it in matt though.

It depends on the paint; some top coats have naff opacity and benefit.  I normally use Johnstone's aqua for satin, and that really needs it.
