You can wash it off with a moist sponge, but it is likely going to still leave a stain. Drywall is very porous. It is basically paper over chalk. There is just no way to remove some stains. If you want to paint over, but the wood stain keeps bleeding through, cover the stain with a product like Killz. It sometimes takes a couple of coats. Once the Killz is totally dry, the stain should quit bleeding though. It can then be painted over. Just keep in mind, if you are using a water based paint, use water based Killz. If you are using an oil based paint, use an oil based Killz.

Yes, but with any wood surface that you stain you must have a clean surface.

If ANY paint or primer is left on wood you will get spots that will only show up after you stain so make sure it is clean and bare.

Can you leave stain on your wood panels without wiping it off?

Yes, if it's a gel stain. However, if it's a penetrating stain it will not dry correctly. If you try to clean it, it will smear. If you put a clear topcoat on it, the topcoat will smear the excess stain.
