Have you had the back completely off? Quite often, there is a date on mirrors. Otherwise, I am on board with an early 20th century date. I do...
Don't see how you can say it is Globe-Wernicke from this one picture. There were lots of makers of these and G-W usually marked their pieces...
Can't help until I know what needs fixed. Looks like some screws that hold the music box in place are missing.
The loose leg probably just needs to be tightened. These were meant to be removable so you probably do not want to glue them. The shallow scuffs...
This is what is known as an oak "C" roll-top. First popular about 1910 or so but made pretty much the same way for decades. A Mission style oak...

Think Kyra and Laura have this pegged. Not entirely sure of use.
Agree, vanity chair. Likely Italian 60s or so.
Teens -20s.
The main thing with painting is to get the piece free of dirt and wax. Scrub down with soap and water first, then go over with mineral spirits....
