Absolutely! This piece would look great!
Yes you definitely can.
Pretty much anything can be painted with chalk paint. Usually two coats is enough. Dries fast for application of second coat. Only thing is glossy surfaces need a bit of sanding.
Absolutely! Clean it well first and then apply the paint.
Yes why not or you could use Aldi one paint you won’t need to. Sand,prime,the surface just paint it and done.
Yes, you can paint it. If it's laminate or veneer you will need a primer before coating it with chalk paint.

I gave up on chalk paint because it scratches so easily. Instead, I use regular house paint. Remove hardware, clean with TSP, prime, and paint. I've been painting furniture since the 80's as broke college student. I joined the chalk paint fad to my regret because I ended up having to repaint as it had so many scratches. I would only use on picture frames.

In that case, why not use a coloured Gel or Wax ?
Yes it can, but chalk paint scratches easily. I would clean the cabinet really well then prime with a good stain blocking primer such as Kilz. Then lightly sand and prime again. A paint sprayer would make it easier. The Homax one is inexpensive and works great. Then I would paint the cabinet with a good latex paint in the color of your choice. No top coatings is necessary if you use a good latex paint from Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore.
