Yes as long as it is in good order and is not vinyl. Use Emulsion Paint...
Not a recommended practice ,down the road it will bubble and peel
Sometimes depending on the paper type and glue used, try a small area prior to painting the whole wall as some will bubble and separate from the wall'
You really should remove it the wall paper. You would have to remove it after a year or so anyway to fix even bigger of a mess. Sorry. Just wet and peel and scrape. It is tedious but worth it!
Yes ,painted my dining room over 40 years ago . It was a flocked patern . I love it, very modern looking

You can paint over wallpaper but it will look terrible. Bite the bullet and rent a power steamer. It will still be a lot of work to take it off but
