I want to have fine crushed limestone around the fire pit above. What do I lay down underneath? Any other steps I need to take? TIA

Landscape paper

I had to Google what this is.... Landscape fabric is the answer, never heard it called paper. But that is the correct answer.... Fabric.

So just landscape paper/fabric then put limestone on top? Would sand under the landscape paper be beneficial in any way?

Sand isn't necessary. Turn your fabric up at the edges to contain your gravel and keep adjacent soil from migrating into your gravel area.

You could use sand to level everything out if that’s an issue. Otherwise, lay the paper (“fabric”) and then spread the limestone.

Make sure it's deep enough. I did this once and the layer of limestone was too thin and I saw the fabric sometimes if the gravel was shifted around under feet, furniture, or rain.
I also sprayed ground clear herbicide first just to make sure I killed everything underneath it. But I like overkill.
