It will work over another latex paint, however it won't be as scrubable as a normal top coat, and it won't adhere as well as a paint over a primer. Better to apply the primer, then the paint. If the surface is clean and deglossed though, you really don't need a primer and can coat the surface with a quality wall paint.
Yes you can, as long as the red finish paint is compatible with the tan wall. Acrylic and latex paints can't be applied over an oil based paint without a primer. A tinted primer can be used if you are not sure. Plus, a tinted primer will make the red paint cover better.
You have a contradiction ! - Latex primer CAN NOT BE oil based.
As long as the original paint is intact, you do not even need a primer. The advantage about using a primer is that it might help to hide the old color easier, but you will have to buy the primer AND the paint that you like. Is the existing paint latex? Is the new paint latex? Is there any bare drywall? Unless there is something that we don't know, I would just buy enough paint to paint the wall 2 coats. If you want to prime it, you can have the primer tinted a little to get you closer to the color that you have chosen, but it will be more trouble and work than is necessary.
Latex paint can be used as a primer but the results may not be what you want. Primer is less expensive than latex paint and has special qualities that create a seal and help the finish layer of paint adhere better. In the long run you will save time and money by using the correct product for the job.

Either oil or latex primer can be used over interior latex paint.

I would use Kilz latex primer.
Latex Primer dries fairly quickly. It will depend on the humidity levels in the home and the surface its applied to. On new drywall which the surface is more porous and will absorb more primer vs previously painted. Usually you can apply a top coat in 2 - 4 hours. Rick The Renovator
Not directly. You will need to use a primer made to adhere to oil and will accept a latex topcoat.
