Caulking can be done either before or after painting depending on how steady a hand you have. Be sure to use a "Painter's" caulk, which is latex based. Silicone based chalks can NOT be painted over.
yes but not the other way around the latex passes moisture
No, you either need to really rough up the oil paint with fine sand paper, or put a base coat on before you paint with your Latex paint. If you don't your Latex paint won't adhere.

Usually caulk is not intended to be terribly strong, it's intended to fill holes, sometimes ahead of painting. A pure silicone will be pretty strong. A siliconized latex is also pretty strong, and can usually be painted over. If you want strength, look into construction adhesives. They're strong enough for things like bonding subfloors to joists.
Yes, oil based paint is very versatile and can be painted over many painted surfaces, including those previously coated with latex paint, as long as the surface is dull and clean.
Polyseamseal silicone caulk would be the best caulking to use with bathroom tile, if you're not going to pain the caulk. If you desire to paint the caulk, MAPEI latex caulk would be best to use with the bathroom tile.
