Haven't seen any seed heads, and am going to keep it mowed low for the rest of the season.
What about aerating to assist new growth in the fall? Will that give the overseeding a boost?

Killing all the vegetation is certainly an option. I'm doing that right now with a large patch of ground. If the soil is compacted, and given your bloom of crabgrass it prolly is, aerating can be beneficial. Do so before reseeding. Also consider applying a starter fertilizer and if needed some lime to raise the ph.
