Suspension.
No, not as liquids. Latex paint is a water-based suspension, 'oil' paint is either a petro-chemical (i.e. paint thinner) or 'natural' (i.e. linseed) oil-based suspension. If you already tried to mix the 2, it can't even be recycled. Consult the local (county) recycling/waste disposal authority for proper disposal.
oil based
You can but it wont last, you will have a bigger peeling mess.
Mineral oil is not used to remove paint. Mineral spirits is used to thin and cleanup oil based paints, however it will not affect the paint once it has dried. Remove dried oil based paint by scraping or use lacquer thinner to soften the paint so that it can be removed.
No. There are special brushes for oil based paint.
Oil-based paints tend to separate into layers over time. The pigment molecules are suspended in a solvent of linseed oil and mineral spirits. Oil-based paints are suspensions. Water-based paints such as latex paint are colloids.
The solution in which the pigment is suspended. i.e. the pigment is suspended in a water-based solution in latex paint, but in an oil-based solution for alkyd (oil) paints.

It is a solution because if let sit over time particles will settle. ------------------------------------------------ Actually there is evidence with the related link below that shows it is a colloid
oil based
Yes. Clean and degloss the oil based paint, apply an oil based primer, then apply the water based paint.

Because paint thinner is also oil based and water is not.
All you need is good preparations: sanding and degreasing.
Depending on the type of paint, it is typically considered a colloid. Many have water or oil with suspended pigment particles.

Alkyd paint has a resin in it to help the oil in the paint dry faster, oil based paint in my opinion has a more vibrant colors, both in depth an brightness, waterbased seems to be toned down some-what. Wood paint can be either water based or oil based and even water soluble oil based. Oil based alkyd paint lately are used for things or areas that might receive abuse, and because of the slower drying time the oil based alkyd paint will show less brush marks then water based paint.
