Fall crabgrass control

Last fall we put in a new lawn that is mostly doing well. However, crabgrass has turned up in areas where the grass was thin. I'm considering some kind of weed control but am concerned because I want to put a second batch of seed in 2-3 weeks. Is my best course to let the crabgrass go as it will die anyway or should I use something to kill it?

Crabgrass is spring control activity with per-emergence. pull/kill what you can but the control starts in the spring.

I spread it with shorts on, but I did wear a dust mask which I thought I didn't really need.

Clover area with little grass growing on front lawn

Is it ok to just throw down some seed in this area and water it daily? Do you think I'd get some more grass growing there or should I pull up some of the clover and then put some topsoil and seed? I think either way the clover may come back. It's not a BIG deal, but I like growing grass and just thought "Ah, what the heck maybe I can get the grass to take over?
