Yes, acrylic latex paint is a water base. Alkyd is an oil base. You can definitely use acrylic paint to paint your walls. Just make sure it is a high quality interior paint. If you mean 'art paint' when you say 'acrylic' paints, I'm pretty sure that paint is best used on canvases, etc... If you use that particular paint for accents on a wall, just make sure to go over it with a polycrylic.
Yes; artists always use multiple layers of paint to create their paintings. I always used many layers to build up color and texture. It is the same paint, so it dries at the same rate and they do not affect eachother.
Acrylic would be a poor choice for painting over a photo if you want to maintain its integrity, because acrylics are opaque. Also, the paint may damage the photo. You can buy special oil paints for hand-coloring photographs.
(Neither acrylics nor oil paints are inherently opaque nor tranparent. The pigments used for either-or for watercolors- are identical. Only the binder is different and both the oils and polymer emulsions used in the production of acrylic paint are transparent. What makes a PARTICULAR color opaque is the opaqueness of the pigment. So, Yellow Ochre (oil or acrylic) is more opaque than is Acra Violet/Alizarin Crimson.)
Tinting photos is an old and formerly popular techinique. You wouldn't be re-inventing the wheel, so finding the right tools/media shouldn't be hard.
The only snag might be that "photos" printed from your computers and not through traditional photoprinting methods, run a variety of chemical recipes of dyes and inks.

A special note for people who want to hand-color inkjet photos rather than silver halide photos, and there are quite a few who do: Paint of any kind will soak through inkjet ink and mess up the photograph. Before handcoloring an inkjet, you coat it with a clear artist's gesso. This seals the ink. Liquitex makes what you need.
Yes you can, if you utilize a Fabric Medium, which is a product that, mixed with regular acrylic paint, makes it pliable and suitable to apply on fabrics.
There are several brands of Fabric Medium. Look for it at Arts and Crafts stores.
Yes, but it's better to use special oil paints designed for hand-coloring photos. Acrylics are opaque, and will obscure the picture.
well they do that because they like to be creative and paint diffrent things so that's why learned that in art class
Yes, enamel paint will go over flat paint.
you can paint over latex paint with latex enamel.
yes
Yes. You can paint semi-gloss latex paint over flat latex paint. It is not advised to paint over any latex with any oil-based paint. Nor is it advised to try and paint over semi-gloss paint with any other finish without first de-glossing the finish and priming.
You can paint on a photograph. Normal acrylic would work.

Paint can add text to photographs. Open the photograph in paint and then click the text tool along the toolbar at the top. If you want better options there is this program called GIMP which is like photoshop which lets you create very stylish text overlays.
