No, the particles are too large, use talc.
If you mix a flat and semi-gloss 1:1 you should end up with a paint in the eggshell range. Mix the same paints 1:3 and you should end up with a satin. Experiment with small amounts to get the desired gloss.
Yes, you can put polyurethane paint over eggshell in latex or eggshell in oil.
Yes, eggshell paint is good for doors.
The difference between flat and eggshell is a very simple but important one. Flat paint is not washable is should only be used on surfaces that do not get touched... ceilings are the best place to use flat paint. Eggshell paint has the ability to be wiped, using a soft cloth and a very mild soap. This makes it perfect for the walls in a bedroom, a dining room or a living room. I have used eggshell throughout in homes that do not have children as adults tend not to get smudges and prints on their walls.
Two entirely different things. Acrylic is a type of water-based paint (usually latex/acrylic) and eggshell refers to the sheen (ie flat, satin, eggshell, semi-gloss, etc...). Also some people assume eggshell refers to a certain color, however with many paint companies, the term "eggshell" refers to the sheen texture (feels like an egg shell) and not the color of an egg (which, of course, depends entirely on the type of bird if came from). :)
In relation to paint finishes, the term "eggshell" refers to a type of finish that has a slight sheen and is more durable than flat paint. It has a subtle shine similar to the surface of an eggshell.

Yes, you can change the color of an eggshell using artist acrylic paint. First, ensure the eggshell is clean and dry, then apply a layer of acrylic paint using a brush or sponge. Allow it to dry completely before adding additional coats for a richer color. Keep in mind that the paint may alter the eggshell's texture and appearance.

Just get the same level of sheen. (Ex Eggshell, Flat, Semi-flat, Gloss, High Gloss) I don't know if suede is a paint term. Sounds eggshell/semi flat which are pretty much the same thing but many brands use 1 or the other.
The five types of paint finishes available for use are flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss.
The different types of paint sheens for interior walls are flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss. They differ in appearance and durability. Flat paint has a matte finish and is less durable, while high-gloss paint has a shiny finish and is more durable. Eggshell and satin are in between in terms of sheen and durability, while semi-gloss is more durable than eggshell and satin but less than high-gloss.

Egg shells (used in many craft projects) are quite porous, and will give your paint an excellent ground. Remember however a flat paint will not be very durable (it should not be washed or cleaned) so consider a clear top coat in what ever gloss factor you like. If however if you are asking about the paint finish called eggshell (one having the ability to be gently washed) then it will depend on the age of the "eggshell" paint, the composition of the two (eggshell & flat) paints and the colour of the "eggshell". If the "eggshell" is older than a year, latex or acrylic based and a light colour, then a good washing with TSP or some other gloss remover, and going over it with one or two coats of a good quality flat latex, oil or acrylic paint should do the trick. Oil paint can be directly applied over latex, acrylic or oil... Latex can be directly applied over latex or acrylic but not oil... Acrylic can be directly applied over latex or acrylic but not over oil. If the "eggshell" is less than a year old, oil based or a deep colour, then a good quality primer coat will make the job go much smoother. (Note- use an oil based primer if the "eggshell" is oil based, you can then top coat with any paint formula)
