Re-laying brick/paver walkway in backyard, need advice!

Hey everyone,
I just recently power washed my walkway and the gap between bricks became very noticeable. Also, weeds have been growing between the bricks. It looks like it has a sand base underneath. Because of the size of the gap and the weeds, I'd like to remove the pavers and reinstall them for a cleaner look. Is it ok to put landscape fabric directly underneath the pavers or should it go beneath the sand? I'd like this to prevent future growth. Will I need to re-pack/replace my sand base? I've also been thinking about no-dig edging to hopefully keep the path together for as long as possible. Worthwhile? I plan to re-level everything with a slant away from the house for water draininage. I plan to use stakes and strings for this. I don't think we want to replace the bricks as they seem in decent condition, just think the walkway needs some TLC. I live in central Indiana. Any input is appreciated! Picture below ..
