Paint thickness is determined by the amount of about twenty-five cents worth of a thickening agent and different manufacturers formulate their paints to different thicknesses. Normally, the latex paints are thicker than the oil based paints within a given manufacturer, however, that manufacturer could formulate different paints to different thickness depending on how it is intended to be applied, thicker for a brush and roll application, thinner for spraying applications.
Yes, you can.
You can always paint latex ( water based )over an oil based paint as the latex just dries on the surface. However don't paint an oil based over a latex paint. Oil based paints need to absorb into the wood or other surfaces or it will just dry and flake off. For more information on the differences and when or not to use a latex or oil paint please see the following article. . http://www.ehow.com/how_4713170_between-latex-oil-base-paint.html
No, you either need to really rough up the oil paint with fine sand paper, or put a base coat on before you paint with your Latex paint. If you don't your Latex paint won't adhere.
yes. However, you cannot use an oil base paint over a latex primer. If you change your mind on the paint, you must strip the paint before you use an oil based paint on the primer.
If I was going to repaint this, then I'd remove both the latex and the old oil base with a chemical stripper. Then re-prime it and paint.
Yes, you can.
Just paint it on if the latex is adhering well.

yes but you cannot put latex on top of oil based surfaces You actually are NOT advised to put oil over latex surfaces, which is why you're supposed to prime will an oil-based (alkyd) primer. Latex and Polyurethane should always have a layer of oil-base beneath it.
I don't believe you can put latex paint over an oil base. it will never dry and will always be tacky
yes
