If it is flat paint, you can apply the texture without any additional preparation. If it is a gloss or semigloss, you will need to rough up the surface with sandpaper first.

Can you stain a white door?

If the door has a primer or a paint on it then no. Stain needs open grain to work. Stain seeps into the pores of the wood. If there is a coating, i.e. the primer or paint, then the stain will have nowhere to go. It will just sit on top of the coating until it is wiped off or dries in ugly blotches.

Can you use latex stain over polyurethane enforced oil based stain?

Yes, but only if the stain is a few years old and really dry. You have to wash the stain thoroughly to remove the chalked pigments and then prime it to seal the checks in the wood. One disadvantage of stain is that it will not keep the wood from checking as it dries. Either a latex of alkyd primer will work well. You can then paint it with your latex top coat.

Can you stain paint grade mouldings?

Most paint grade mill-work (mouldings, widow frames and doors) are not designed to be stained. They are created of many small pieces of woods, joined by something called a finger-joint. The wood-grains of the pieces, are not necessarily pretty to look at. For the best looking finish, it is best to prime and top coat paint grade mill-work. If you really want wooden mill-work, spend the extra and get good stain-grade mill-work.
