The finishes. Silk, as the name suggests, is a high sheen finish and will often show up imperfections. Matt will cover everything flat as the name suggests. Either can be used in my opinion as a professional painter and decorator. I've just finished a house with silk walls and matt ceilings, and have often done matt walls and silk ceilings. If you're a beginning painter, I would advise using silk, as it's either to put on smoother with thick coats. If you're a beginner and using matt, use vinyl matt, not trade.
Matt paint is also known as flat paint and silk is also known as satin or egg shell. When you mix equal parts of silk with matt the slight amount of sheen in the silk is obliterated and the batch becomes matt.
Providing they have the same base, you can.
If indoors use emulsion Matt or silk depending on what finish you want.
It is not recommended to mix matt emulsion with silk emulsion, as they have different sheen levels and ingredients. This might lead to inconsistencies in the finish, adhesion issues, and uneven drying. It is best to use the same type of paint throughout a project for a uniform look.
yes you can
its when you have a bit of silk and you have some sil paint and u start painting on the silk.

I am not sure that you can.... Please tell us more about the painting. (sorry) What IS a silk painting? Is it a painting ON silk? Do you know what type of paint was used to create it? Is the surface pourus? What type of paint splashed on it? How long ago? How much (area in square inches??)
Acrylic, like enamel paint, can be matt, gloss, or satin finish. Please see the related link below.
If the same base, yes you can.
It will not stick very well unless you use a primer in between.
Very unlikely, although possible if it's a very matt wallpaper. You could try using a matt undercoat, then gloss on top.
