yes you can. You need to prep the wood correctly first. Start off be applying chlorine to the wood and pressure clean, running the length of the boards so you dont make marks. Stopping in the middle will make a mark so run fully across. Then apply a conditioner to the wood, Behr conditioner for decks to open the pores on the wood and brighten back to original, in areas that the stain has wore off. Then apply 2 coats evenly. After first coat, apply second when the first is tacky. If not the stain will repel the second coat. If your deck has existing stain and spots have wore completely off, you will see the difference, so go darker, of go to a solid for of stain, percect consistance, lasts long time. Remember stain semi or solid, no paint.
Hope this helps.

I would not recommend staining over stained wood. First of all, it all depends on the type of stain that is covering the wood deck. There are three types of deck stains out there:
Although it is okay to stain on top of oil-based and latex-based stains, there is a possibility that the result will be darker than you expect it to be. Personally, I would never stain on top of the old stain. I would remove the old stain first.
To remove the old stain
After that you just need to apply a new coat of stain. There is no need to sand the wood surface as stain stripper does the job pretty well.

Yes.
If you paint over the "weathered" paint, it will chip and cause the stain to come off. Also, the stain needs a clean sanded surface in order for the wood to absorb it. Otherwise, there is no reason to use stain.
Can you put stain in polyurethane to darken the color?
Yes you can.
No because latex paint will no stick to the oil stain. unless you sand the surface first then pain it
If it's been treated with sealant odds are that it won't take stain properly. To get a good result try sanding the sealant off first.
To stain rawhide, first clean and wet the rawhide, then apply leather dye or oil-based stain using a sponge or cloth. Allow the rawhide to dry completely before applying a sealant or finish to protect the stain and the rawhide.
The best way to stain cabinets is to apply the stain over shellac then shellac over the stain last step Zip Guard over that to protect surface from moisture damage
Yes, you can
Yes.
No, oil needs to penetrate the surface and the latex stain will inhibit that penetration.
You just paint right over it, no special prep is necessary.
You should scrape off old sealant and re-do it.

Rubbing alcohol all over the stain
