You will want to either prep-sand the wood, or apply a chemical prep, available at a paint store.
The wood is now classed as sealed. You need, as pointed out to sand the surface use a 120 grit sandpaper then wipe fully to remove the dust, it is then the job of the undercoat to make a base for the final coat. This is important as you will need an OIL BASED undercoat. Water based will not help you and will not adhere correctly. The reason for the undercoat as well is to help the colour definition of the top coat. Its assuming that the wood is going to be outside (as it was water proofed initially) . If this is the case use a good exterior grade top coat or it will whether very quickly
No. But you can put latex paint over Thompson's® WaterSeal® Clear Multi-Surface Waterproofer. The thompsonswaterseal.com site says to let the Thompson's dry for 45 days before putting latex paint over it.
And by the way, the Thompsons that is specifically for wood (Thompson's® WaterSeal® Waterproofer Plus Clear Wood Protector) says not to put latex paint on top of it.
From what I can tell, the difference between the two products is that the one specifically for wood helps wood retain its natural color while the multi-surface stuff "allows wood to grey naturally. So if you're painting then you may as well use the multi-surface stuff. It's a bit cheaper anyway.
You can paint over Thompsons Water Seal after 3-4 days with an oil based paint and after 30 days with a water based paint or stain.

You can use either a water or oil-based paint over a latex primer.
Not directly. You will need to use a primer made to adhere to oil and will accept a latex topcoat.
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.

Dry latex paint can sometimes be reactivated with water because latex paint is water-based. When water is applied, it softens the paint's surface, making it easier to wipe off. This is especially common with matte or flat finishes that have not been properly cured.
You cannot paint over slightly tacky latex paint with a water based polycyclic finish. You should always wait until the latex paint is thoroughly dry before painting over it.
Scrub it with warm water and a sponge sander block.
