It's difficult to even out the color once you've already stained it. Too keep your stain color even, use a "sanding sealer" first to seal the wood surface and apply your stain over the sealer.
Try to determine what the color is and get stain just slightly lighter. Newer wood is often softer than it used to be so it absorbs more color. Apply 1 coat and compare it to the old. You can put another coat on or let it sit longer to make it darker. The type of finish will affect it also. Depending on what you use, it will darken the finished board just a little bit.
Sand the area when the overlap occurred. Then get a rag damp with the stain you are using. Make several passes over the area you just sanded, feathering in the stain as you get to the edges of where you sanded. You should avoid getting fresh stain on the surface that still has the dried stain on it.
