The short answer is yes. If they are both of the same base (latex, oil, acrylic).

More important how ever is where the paint is. If you are working out of doors, go right ahead, if however you are intending to paint an exterior paint over interior paint, indoors, then please do not do it.

Exterior paints have a number of chemicals that make them more suitable to exterior conditions, and a lot of them are not good for you. The out-gassing process takes a lot longer and exposes you to potential harm.

Yes, but not recommended. One is oil based and the other is water based. You may get a very bad result with blisters as it will not dry as intended. you now have exterior water based paints, you can mix water interior based paint with water based exterior paint, do not mix paint with emulsion.

Sure, exterior quality is better because it has to stand weathering influences.

But only if it's the right kind (don't put latex over oil based pain, unless you bridge it with shellac)

How do you turn pink paint into grey paint?

Any paint must have two types of ingredients, which are a pigment that gives it its color, and a binder that enables it to stick to the surface on which you are painting. There are a wide variety of options available for each of these. Different types of paints are used for such purposes as painting an interior wall, painting an exterior wall, painting a work of art, or painting a car. The whitest known pigment is titanium dioxide, which is favored by artists. Binder can be latext, oil, tempura, etc.
