What part of the kitchen? The cabinets, counter-tops, walls, appliances, floor?
At one time paint only came in a limited gloss range, flat, semi-gloss and high-gloss. The higher the gloss factor the harder the paint... the harder the paint the more washable it is. People used to only use high gloss or semi-gloss in kitchens and bathrooms so they could keep the rooms cleaner. These days, with the availability of a wider selection of gloss finishes and the tendency for people to paint more frequently, it is no long essential to use semi-gloss in your kitchen. I have been using a pearl luster paint successfully in kitchen for more than ten years with very good results.
No, often high gloss paint is oil based.
Base paint is also known as flat paint, or flat wall paint, or matt paint and is a latex paint. Flat paint is just that, flat or dull with no sheen at all. Semi-gloss is an enamel that dries very hard and can be found in a low sheen (satin) a medium sheen (semi-gloss) and a high sheen (high gloss) Flat paint is usually used on walls and ceilings where as semi-gloss is used in kitchens, bathrooms, doors an jambs because it helps hold back the inherent moisture in those areas.
Lacquer thinner has no sheen. It will thin any lacquer or enamel and imparts no gloss or change of that nature.

the high gloss acrylic would bead up and not give you an even application over the oil based
By using rubbing compound
If the question is: What is the ratio of high gloss paint to flat paint sold, the answer is 57:33.
As a rough general rule, yes. Semi-gloss is classic for kitchens and bathrooms, especially the latter. Today's semi-gloss paints are not nearly as "glossy" as those of 30 years ago, and that's a good thing.
I would use a high quality Lacquer, with high solids, (high gloss, water clear) I use Hood Lacquer.
Lacquer thinner has no sheen. It will thin any lacquer or enamel and imparts no gloss or change of that nature.
