Q: The can says weathered oak but it is grey on the inside. Will the color change to oak once it drys

When oak weathers.... it turns grey.

Q: Do I need to apply a seal on top of the stain?

Never got that far with the pint of Stain that I received . The stain had no Brown in it for a Fruitwood color. But I would have applied a good sealer, like Varnish or Polyurethane.

Q: What are the steps? I’m no expert but I’m gonna try to make a coffee table. Sand, stain, then polyurethane?

Sand only if needed first. Stain the wood in one direction only and in the direction of the grain. The directions will be on the can. You can wipe up the excess stain with an old towel. If you want a second coat, wait until it's dry. Then, when it's perfectly dry, put the polyurethane or varnish (your choice) on it. If you want a second coat of that, you can lightly sand the wood with 220 sand paper, wipe away the dust and then apply the second coat of the varnish or whatever you used. There's gloss, matte and satin finishes. All are nice. It's easy. It really is. Have fun! Again, the directions are on the can and easy to understand. Oh, and wear rubber gloves! The stain is hard to get off the skin!

Q: would i need paint brushes or would rubbing it in with a rag work im planing on doing a diy guitar finish with it

A clean cloth / rag works just the same as a foam brush and is cheaper. You can buy tee-shirt trimmings from most stores for this purpose. Another clean piece can be used for cleanup / wiping down the final finish to avoid excess soaking in. I avoid paper towels on anything but a test piece since the paper towel tends to shed residue into the finish.
