Yes you can, as long as the red finish paint is compatible with the tan wall. Acrylic and latex paints can't be applied over an oil based paint without a primer. A tinted primer can be used if you are not sure. Plus, a tinted primer will make the red paint cover better.
Yes, you can. I have done that on occasion with good results.
Painting over just about any sheen is possible. The only thing that I would recommend is to primer the surface 1st for a better application of the eggshell. If you do not primer the surface there may be a chance that the high gloss will show through and end up costing you more money to apply the much more expensive eggshell instead of the inexpensive primer. Unless you have plenty of paint for a second application of the eggshell. Then that would be okay. I do believe you can cover any sheen ( depending on color ) with two coats.
It depends on the condition and colour of the paint on your wall. If it's all scuffed-up in places, you probably want to prime those spots to make it more even (after you've ripped/peeled off the pieces that are sticking up of course). Also, if you're painting a light colour on top of a dark colour, it might be a good idea to put a layer of white primer in the middle.
Well, honey, technically you can use lacquer thinner with red oxide primer, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want a hot mess on your hands. Lacquer thinner is pretty strong stuff and might not play nice with the primer, so proceed with caution and maybe do a test patch first. Just remember, I warned ya!

Orange. Why are you using a primer? If the walls are already painted, just apply 2 coats of the paint that you want to use. If you use primer, have the paint store tint the primer toward the orange color that you have chosen.
No. Never use primer to change wall colors. I once bought a house that was just renovated. Everything was nice; but the walls. The renovators cheaped out and just covered the walls in white primer, it made them all feel like sandpaper.
Primer is almost always the exciting color of light gray, so if you're painting with a light color, you should stick with the gray. Primer could theoretically come in any color, but gray is what you'll nearly always see used. Sometimes a shop will use a darker primer such as red for certain darker colors of paint so that they won't have to use as many coats of paint to cover the usual gray primer.
