You're lucky if you learned that lesson after the first time. Took me
several.

Luck, as always. plays a certain part in my work. ;)
I got 3 coats on the cabinets, but still wasn't happy with the face
frames and the drawers, so placed them so the surfaces were horizontal
and gave them a final coat. I think they came out well.

Depends on what I am doing, but 220 works fine for the cabinet. For a
table I think I would go finer.
Yes, light sanding means fine grit, and just enough sanding to even the
surface,

I am spraying water based poly on cabinets at the moment. I am using a
new (to me) spray gun for the job so put on too much in one place on the
1st coat, creating a sag. I let it dry, then took a scraper and smoothed
the sag, fine sanding on everything as always and the 2nd coat has gone
on well - luck or extra experience, not sure.
Light coats is the key, and knowing how to fix the problems,as always,
is essential.

Millions of hanging doors are coated every year. Probably tens of millions
of lineal feet of wood trim are coated every year. I never had a problem
with it.
