I’d just round up the lawn and wouldn’t worry about raking up the dead stuff. Wouldn’t want some zombie grass hanging on and fighting through.

What kind of "fill" was it?
I think you would need to use some good top soil and/or mason sand (potentially both mixed together) but I'll defer to the experts (ronk, Craw, etc.). Avoid river silt / sand at all costs.

Use masonry sand to level out and you can sprinkle a thin layer of compost, peat moss, or garden soil under the sod.
As others have said stay away from getting a giant truck full of river silt.
