Just because it's not yet leaking doesn't mean that it's not heavily rusted and liable to disintegrate when you start poking at it and grinding away. Certainly it looks more than surface rust in the photo, but it's hard to tell really without poking at it with something pointy like a screwdriver.
No point just sanding back and painting if there's still rust lurking, as it will reappear again in due course. You really need to remove all traces of rust, and if that means cutting metal out and welding in new then that's what you'll realistically have to do if you're planning on keeping the car long term.
