Can a 22 caliber short be fired out of a 22 caliber LR firearm?

Yes. However, whether the firearm can feed the .22 short rounds depends on the feed system and action of the firearm. If the .22 LR is fed through a box magazine, the feed system isn't likely to work with .22 short. Lever actions with tubular magazines and breech loaded weapons can typically fire the .22 short, .22 long, and .22 long rifle cartridges. In the case of a semi automatic with a tubular magazine, the .22 short may not produce enough gas pressure to cycle the action. Dependent on the rifle, it may cause short stroking, and could lead to stovepiping, or it could just simply require the action to be worked manually.

What 22 bullets types can be fired in a marlin 22 cal WIN firearm?
Depends on the firearm, and the markings on the firearm. By itself, 22 does not mean a lot. 22 can mean .22 Short, .22 Long or .22 Long Rifle. These may all be fired in a single shot rifle chambered in .22 LR. They will not always cycle through a repeating rifle, and may need to be fed by hand. 22 can also mean .22 Magnum- abbreviated as .22 WMR- which does NOT interchange with .22 LR. There are other, older 22 cartridges such as .22 Winchester Auto, .22 Special, .22 extra Long, 22 WRF, .22 Remington. Those are pretty much obsolete, and do not interchange with .22 LR. If you will repost giving the markings on the barrel, including the caliber and model of the gun, we can try to give you a better answer.
