What do you mean? Yes, paint on wood trim is typically latex these days. Some older homes may still have alkyd (oil), though. To find out for sure, put a little nail polish remover on a cotton swab and rub it on the paint in an inconspicuous location. It it gets soft and starts to come off, it's latex. Either way, sand it lightly and recoat with the same type of paint and you're good. If you're asking about bare wood, DON'T USE LATEX! The water will swell the grain of the wood. Use an oil primer that is made to take latex topcoats.

Hello? Interior. I am guessing that your block fence is exterior. The answer is no. You can do it if you want to paint it again before it's time
You can always paint latex ( water based )over an oil based paint as the latex just dries on the surface. However don't paint an oil based over a latex paint. Oil based paints need to absorb into the wood or other surfaces or it will just dry and flake off. For more information on the differences and when or not to use a latex or oil paint please see the following article. . http://www.ehow.com/how_4713170_between-latex-oil-base-paint.html
I found out that Rubbing alcohol will remove dried latex paint on hard wood floors.
You can use sand to remove the paint of wood with medium-grain sandpaper.Here be careful you are not to scratch the wood. Also at paint store you will get various paint remover of fence.but most of them are harmful to use.

Yes ,you can use polyacrylic over latex
depending on the damage you may possibly just be able to use a 2x4 to secure the fence. if not then it might be whole sections of it. nails, new wood, and paint to protect the wood

No , No you can not .
The water in the latex paint will soften the bristles of a brush intended for oil paint, so it is not a good idea.
