Most stains, be they latex or oil based are transparent or semi-transparent, using a primer under it would eliminate the possibility of seeing the wood beneath the stain (which is usually why stain is used).
A primer is used over oil based paint when you want to switch over to use latex based paint on the same surface.
No, it won't 'dry'. The latex will prevent the oil being absorbed.
I would't, never mix water-base with oil-base, they can mix the color you want in oil-base, it just takes a bit longer to dry, and you won't run into problems later.
Yes, you can.
Yes, that will work fine.
Yes, you can.
You can use either a water or oil-based paint over a latex primer.
Yes, but you can not put latex over oil without a primer coat between.
Yes. Oil based primer works over just about any surface.
Dont mix linseed oil and latex primer. Latex = Waterbased, Linseed Oil = Oil based Don't mix oil and water, unless you are making salad dressing.
Latex.
you only use primer over bare wood or stains. If you have really tough stains you might need to use shellac based primer, otherwise any stain covering primer.
Yes, you can.

Not directly. You will need to use a primer made to adhere to oil and will accept a latex topcoat.
Yes, but only if the stain is a few years old and really dry. You have to wash the stain thoroughly to remove the chalked pigments and then prime it to seal the checks in the wood. One disadvantage of stain is that it will not keep the wood from checking as it dries. Either a latex of alkyd primer will work well. You can then paint it with your latex top coat.
