No I wouldn't try lacquering over polyurethane, knowing the way things work the lacquer may not wrinkle but it may not stick to it either. A very thin coat of shellac maybe, but why take chances, if you can get sanding sealer use sanding sealer.
With regard to using mahogany as a patch, if it is actually mahogany the colour and grain structure will make it stand out if it's set into a stump/crotch walnut panel, unless of course you want it that way. The hole that was drilled was likely only 1/2 inch wide, and the grain was sort of straight in that area, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a piece of walnut that will blend in.
