Buy, borrow or rent a shop vacuum and keep the hose as close as possible to your sanding block while you sand. Or you might look into renting a belt sander to do all but the fine finish work. Some of them have a vacuum attachment built right into the sander.

There are special power sanders just for such an occasion. It is basically an orbital sander on the end of a pole with a vacuum attached. I have seen an apartment hallway skim coated and sanded (what you are doing) with these tools and there wasn’t one complaint of dust from the tenants.
You should be able to rent one from a tool rental place. I think one brand name that makes them is Porter-Cable.
Good Luck!
You were on the right track with wet sanding but don’t use sandpaper. Just use a firm wet sponge and it will smooth out nicely.
There are sanders made just for this, go to a tool rental store, like RSC, and ask for one. They work really well. Belt Sanders are very aggresive and will give you wavy results. Wet sanding is not a good idea and will just cause problems. Whatever you do go back over by hand and get any imperfections you may see, no sander will get everything. I use sanding sponges like the ones you find at Walmart, they work really well. Any way you go will create dust its just part of the process, just clean really well afterwards.
