As far as attatching things to a stone, I would go with epoxy, which you can find at craft stores. This might also work for the wall hook, depending on how heavy the piece is. So far as smoothing it out, you'll want to start with a metal rasp. These you can probably find at a hardware store. Basicly, it's a heavy duty metal file, made for stone. It's a good idea to use those with running water.
I'm not sure how far you're going with this, but in order to get it really smooth and pollished, you'll want to move on to sand paper next, starting with 80 grit, then 100, 120, 180, 200, 600, and 800. This is followed by rubbing a wax in with a soft cloth--it comes in cans, and is almost liquid; I'll see if I can find the name. Last is the polishing compound.

I dont want the stone to be crazy-smooth, just enough so that it rests naturally against a wall
thanks for the tips <3
