Probably....if you feel that you must paint it.
I would apply a good alkyd primer first, then several coats. Whatever you put on there is going to get trashed soon. Also, it will be very slippery unless you use some non skid additive on your final coat. Make sure that you keep the paint well stirred when you put it on with the additive if you decide to use it.
Oil paint ? are you refering to an "oil-based" paint or artist's oil's? you can add "japan drier" to both, and it only takes a little bit .usally "unfininished plywood would "suck up" paint,as quick as you applied it.Remember you have to stir it up real good.
I'm taking a guess that it is Latex Paint. The best and fastest way would be to use a Paint Scraper. Stripper would work but it would take the Final Finish off of your floor. If it is a large area, you could use a Heat Gun...carefully as that also would take the Clear protecting coat off of the floor. I would go with the paint scraper. Not a Putty Knife, a Paint Scraper.
Soften it with Goof Off, then scrape it with a wood spatula.
My garage floor needs a new coat of paint. What is the best garage floor coating paint?
Latex paint can stick to the floor grouting.
Water based paint does very well on plywood. The finish depends on the type of paint.
You can, but I believe oil based primer would be better.
Yes, you can.

The paint that should be used on a gym floor is an oil based paint. This paint adheres best to the surface and lasts a long time.
Paint thinner will take off the oil based paint, but first test it in a corner to ensure it will not damage the face. Glazed tile shouldn't be damaged from paint thinner, but you would want to be sure.
Yep.
Marine grade plywood and treated plywood aren't the same thing. Marine grade plywood has special glues and woods that will withstand constant immersion in water. Treated plywood is regular plywood that has been run through a pressure treating cycle. Paint will stick to treated plywood if you make sure to let it dry for a few months before you paint.
I'm ripping off my nasty carpet and talked to my contractor friend and she said to paint the plywood with a water based opaque deck stain. She mentioned the brand Fortune. Then you seal it with a gloss or whatever finish. Do not wet the plywood, it needs to be cleaned without getting it wet. I'll let you know how it works. The cheapest paint-grade plywood would be BC grade. It's smooth finished on one side only. If you need something nicer, you can go with any smooth plywood. Check for divots, or "footballs" (the plugs they use to fix divots found at the plant).
