what kind of wood is it?
Yes. Use a primer or blocker like Kilz first.
No! You should wait 4-6 months for the wood to dry out.
NO! Wait at least 6 months for the wood to fully dry out. It may appear dry on the surface but the chemicals are still active internally. Too soon and the paint will peel.
I was told to wait a year.
You are best to put a transparent stain on the wood if you have to. Do not use latex as it will eventually crack and peel.
Wait a year.
I agree with William...treated lumber takes some time to dry out....
