Epoxy thinners is the only thing you can use to thin down Epoxy paints however for cleaning other thinners such as general purpose and gunwash should do the job aswell.
Best to remove the epoxy first, otherwise you could experience some peeling issues. If you insist on not removing the epoxy, be sure to remove any grease or oil, clean and sand the surface flat so the floor paint has a solid surface to gain a tenacious bond.
I wouldn't. I would try to get the first one to cure somehow, possibly by warming that area.
Yes, but it may not stay on very well. Besides, epoxy paints are very hard and wear resistant, while latex paints aren't. If the epoxy paint was needed the first time, repainting with something much less durable might not be such a wise move.
You can definitely use latex paint over epoxy. In fact, it is recommended to use latex over epoxy by the paint manufacturers, rather than using epoxy over epoxy. The latex adheres better and if you then want to use epoxy next time you paint, you have a nice coat of latex between the layers. If you use epoxy over epoxy, often the paint will just peel off in layers once some time passes (and sometimes right away).

Anything epoxy based, but be aware you will need epoxy thinner for clean up.

On the soft vinyl you should use a vinyl paint and on the hard plastics use a epoxy paint or plastic paint. Make sure to thoroughly clean all surfaces to be painted with acetone or TSP then rinse in clean water.

Yes, you can.

You paint it with epoxy primer.
It doesn't appear regular epoxy paint will work for inhibiting mold growth, but there are epoxy wall coatings that have a mold inhibitor in them. One of them is called The Basement Doctor Epoxy.
No, Seal-Krete Epoxy-Seal is an acrylic-epoxy blend. By mixing 2 unlike resins (patio paint and Epoxy-Seal) the hard Epoxy-Seal acrylic-epoxy resins would become weak resulting in a coating failure.
