yes as long as it is not aluminum and you use a hard antifouling paint.

You should use a barrier paint. The antifouling should be either physically keyed or pressure washed to remove any loose paint or indeed any dirt. Different types of antifouling paint can react with each other
24 hours
Painting your boat is hard work, so you don't want to have to do it more than you have to because the paint is chipping. If you apply an epoxy barrier coat before applying antifouling paint this will ensure very few chips appear.
No, you will ,however, go blind from the toxins in the paint.
Ofcourse! Most motor yachts are aluminum construction ,they would not go very far without antifouling coatings . Look for a high quality non copper based coating such as Pettit Ultima ECO. Also available is vivid ,I believe that is Pettit too. Doesn't hurt and you should prep the hull with barrier coat and primers.
Washing your walls too quickly after painting them does not release toxins form the paint.
The bookshelf blocking the wall is not preventing paint from drying and keeping toxins lingering. There has been more than enough time for the paint to dry.
It should be safe to wash the bedroom walls shortly after painting with low VOC. Toxins are not released from dried paint on walls.
Yes, several brands have their own products but they all generally provide a controlled release of antifouling biocide at the paint surface, and will not lose its effectiveness when the boat is hauled out of the water for extended periods of time. So these paints are good for in and out of the water. Yes, boat paint is a special formulation that resists deterioration due to water and saline conditions. Boat paint is extremely expensive to purchase and have applied, and it is extremely toxic.
One should open the windows and air out a bedroom for 24-48 hours after painting to get rid of all of the toxins.
