Because it's only intended for trim, doors, and windows, if it's used on all the wall, it will make that wall look cheap. A better choice for a wall is a washable, matte paint that will not show off every imperfection the way a semi-gloss will.

Close to the same. Enamel just means that it's a hard finish. If you're painting a door, trim or anywhere that will be handled often and you must use a water based paint, an enamel is the way to go.

I am having the same issue. From what I have been told, if you want to accentuate your trim use a semi-gloss finish or a satin finish if your wall paint is flat. Easier to wipe off hand smudges, too!

What is the best type of paint for crown moulding Flat Semi-Gloss Satin etc?
Generally, a satin or semi-gloss sheen is best for decorative trim. The shinier paint will be a bit easier to apply, be smoother after application and will accent the crown molding. I always paint crown, doors, door trim, and baseboards in high gloss. Here in the south we also use only one color, white. I also use ceiling paint as the primer coat because I paint it (the crown moulding) when I paint the ceiling. Then I apply 1 coat of high gloss on the crown. Then I paint the last coat that has been thinned a little with water (2 tablespoons per cup of paint) This goes on very fast and smoothe and when finished looks like wet vanilla ice cream. When you paint high gloss, be advised that you have to keep a wet leading edge, meaning that if you stop painting and the paint is allowed to dry, it will show where you stopped and then restarted. The same is true for semi gloss and satin.
