It can vary by state, but generally, yes. If the appaiser is inspecting the house because you are aquiring a federal fund loan, such as 203 (k), or first -time home buyer, then the requirement is that the paint must be intact on a pre-1978 house. If it is not, it can be presumed to be lead paint or it can be tested by a lead inspector and shown to be negative, therefore not requiring use of lead abatement or EPA RRP contractors to fix the deteriorated paint.
Don't paint your house, paint your neighbors house!!!

Any high quality paint should work for you when painting the nursery for your baby. Lead based paints have been banned so you should have no problem with that.

No. Its almost impossible to get any paint that contains lead these days. It was banned from being used in paint in 1978.

White lead is toxic and poses serious health risks when inhaled or ingested. Due to its lead content, it can lead to lead poisoning. As a result, many countries have banned the use of white lead in paint to protect public health and the environment.
Lead paint encapsulation primer is beneficial for renovating a house with lead paint because it seals in the hazardous lead particles, preventing them from being released into the air. This helps to reduce the risk of lead exposure and contamination during the renovation process, making it safer for both the occupants and the environment.

Lead was added to paint in the past as a pigment to provide color and durability. However, lead is toxic when ingested or inhaled, which can be harmful especially to children and pregnant women. Due to the serious health risks, lead-based paint has been banned in many countries.
Lead abatement refers to the treatment and/or removal of building materials containing ingestible lead which were commonly used until the mid-1970s when they were banned in the United States. Most commonly these include lead water pipes and lead-based paint. Typically, lead water pipes are replaced and lead-based paint is sealed and painted over.
Appraisers can't "have you" do anything ! -They give advice and an opinion on worth, or value of your home. If you choose to ignore their opinion, that's your right.
