You can paint over wall paper. However it is recommended that you prime with an oil based primer. Kilz Original for example. Most wall papers use water based glues for adhesion. If you put a waterbased topcoat over the the wallpaper it could penetrate the wall paper and cause the glue to release. You can use a waterbased top coat such as Kilz Casual Colors over the top of the oil based primer.

Can you put drywall mud over a peeling enamel bath ceiling?

Not and have it stay. Start by sanding the ceiling. make all necessary repairs to cracks, water damage etc. Prime the ceiling with a top quality high hiding primer... if you have water damage be sure to use a non-water based primer, I use Kilz (not kilz 2) with great results. Ten use a Kitchen/bathroom specific paint as your top coat.
