In the best of all possible worlds, YES. If you are doing new construction yourself, then a primer coat before installation of trim & cabinetry is fantastic. Wish more of the "pros" where that conscientious.
So you seal it to be able to paint it properly. If you don't do this, all the seams and mud lines will show up through the paint.
Yes. it is necessary to prime it.
Yes, you can use it....but what are you trying to do? The drywall primer is specifically designed to seal the drywall and make the surface uniform. You will not get any benefit from using it on top of a finish coat except for using it as a base coat for changing colors.
It all depends on the ceiling. If it is newly installed sheetrock than it must be primed prior to painting. You should also prime before painting over any discolored or an extremely dark colored ceiling especially if you plan on painting a light or neutral color.
The drywall wasn't primed properly.
Kilz 2 will work under wallpaper as a primer and sealer over new drywall, drywall repairs, or other surfaces. If you are using it as a sizing for your wallpaper, it will work, but is not as good as using a real wallpaper sizing.
before painting a staircase you might want to consider sanding it first. (and a little tip) Use terpentine based paint
yes If you dont prime new drywall, then there is a chance that the orange peel texture maynot cover all unpainted surfaces and you may have to repaint due to the obsorbtion of the paint in the drywall. It also helps seal the surface of the new drywall and makes for a better and more uniform finish.
No, the prime coat can go on anytime.

Hello! Just a couple of guesses as to why the drywall compound is coming off the drywall while you are attempting to prime: First, is the compound totally cured; that is, is it hard and dry? Second, are you using a primer that is specifically designed for new drywall? Lastly, maybe too much paint, or even overworking the paint could saturate the compound, turning it back into a wet goop.
