There are different kinds of satin paint - you'd have to know if it was latex, oil, enamel, alkyd etc.
Add a little talcum powder to the paint.
Satin is lower gloss than semi-gloss paint. Paint finishes in order of decreasing gloss are: * Gloss * Semi-gloss * Satin/Low sheen * Flat Some manufacturers call Satin/Low sheen finish Eggshell, and others regard this as a finish between Satin/Low sheen and Flat paint. The higher the gloss finish the easier it is to clean, the higher its durabillity and the more it shows surface imperfections.
No, you can dull satin or semi-gloss but not the reverse.
If you have the satin, you can add flat paint and take some of the sheen off. This would have to be done before application. It will never be a true flat though.
If the black gloss is in good condition, there is no need to use primer. Wet sand it with 800 grit, and use wax and grease remover both before and after sanding. Be careful not to sand through the black, and respray the car with either a satin black or a satin clearcoat. Make sure the paint you use is compatible with the existing black paint.
No, you don't have to - satin black will work well on its own. Another way is to paint the car gloss black first, and this will highlight any imperfections in the preperation. When you have repaired and repainted the problem areas (in gloss) , the whole car can be wet sanded with 800 grit and finished in satin clear, of the same type, (and preferably brand as well ) as the black base-coat.
If you want to turn your satin paint into flat wall paint simply mix one to one. One gallon of flat to each gallon of satin. The flat wall paint will obliterate any sheen the satin once had.
Yes

Impossible to say - try mixing just half a spoonful (or less) of each and paint the mix on some scrap, allow to dry and see what happens.
