yes. Just sand the surface with a 100 grit or 150 grit sandpaper to insure a good bond.
Do NOT DRY SAND if the paint is older than 1978 as it likely has lead in it which is toxic. Spray with water, then wet sand to not create lead dust.

Water and oil do not mix. You will need an excellent quality primer specifically designed for this purpose. Answer: A good rule of thumb is never say no to a primer, but once the latex paint has dried, all the water is evaporated out of it. As long as the surface is clean, you can go over latex paint with oil without using a primer. If you do want to use a primer, use an oil based primer prior to topcoat.
