You could, but if you have some 100% acrylic solid stain, you would get better results since you wouldn't need to thin it nearly as much as a paint. If you have to use paint, instead of diluting with water, dilute with a latex paint conditioner like Flo-trol as much as possible. Water will break down the binder if used to over thin the paint causing the solids to powder over time. Even better, use fabric dye unless you are trying to achieve a design that requires paint.

Depends on your skill level on any piece of equipment. If it's a small job, or you don't paint much, a roller and brush will be the fastest.

In the hands of an inexperienced or careless painter, a sprayer will often use twice as much paint and cause more troubles than it solves. I wouldn't worry about fast when in a DIY application. Focus on preparation and applying the paint evenly and neatly. in the end, you'll probably save time over trying to get it done fast and the resulting cleanup.
