That cracking is caused by multiple paint layers shifting about under the final top coat. It is very, very common when more modern paints have been applied over enamel or old cellulose. There is absolutely nothing you can do to stabilise the existing paint, rubbing it down & filling it will temporarily mask the problem, but sure as eggs is eggs, it will do it again after a few temperature cycles.
What to do all really depends on what YOU want YOUR car to look like. Personally I reckon that cracks & crazing show a car has seen a bit of life, if it was me, I'd leave as is. However if you are wanting your car to look smooth & shiny, then your ONLY option is to strip back to bear metal & repaint using the paint system of your choice.
