They are a real mix of old nails, newer nails, screws and even no nails.
I’m moving around a lot of the boards to better stagger how they are because at the moment there are a lot of ugly clear runs of cuts and joins.
Will re-nail down the boards. Where there are any old nail holes that go un-used is the best thing to just mix up some sawdust and pva and fill with that?

On the filling holes, I have had mixed results with PVA/sawdust. I'm not sure if its the water content in some PVA but the colour match has been poor, give it a try but you might find the better quality results is a good filler that once sanded is an approx match.

It's certainly cheap to do but in my experience it's a bastard to sand. Proper filler is likely better (I did a whole through lounge and it was a pain)

Or bang them all the way through the board down in to the joist with a punch if you can, then the board will lift off and there'll be a small hole left. Assuming they are old flooring nails, not modern ones with a big round head
EDIT - zoomed in to the photos a bit more, I'd just bang them in flat
