Yes, linseed oil can be mixed with white spirit when painting with oil paints. As an artist, I have to mix white spirit with linseed for the second layer of paint in a painting. As more layers are added, less white spirit is added to the mix, so that, by the time I get to the last layer, I am using neat linseed oil. This prevents the lower layers from depleting the last layer of oil, which would otherwise make it crack.
In decorating, too, one can add white spirit to linseed to dilute it. This can also be used, so I have read, to treat wood.

How do you remove red window paint from white painted cement walls without taking off the white paint?
If the white paint is well-bonded to the surface, and the red is very fresh, a lot of times you can use a sharp razor blade to peel the red paint off the white. If the red is stuck on there, I would use a sanding block to remove as much red paint as I could without damaging much of the white paint, then put a coat of white paint over the area. Next time, get a newspaper and tape it to the white walls to protect the building.

Is isopropyl alcohol the same as surgical spirit?
No. White spirit is a turpentine substitute used for thinning paint or cleaning paint brushes or rollers. Surgical spirit is a mixture of ethanol, methanol (to make it undrinkable) and sometimes oil of wintergreen or methyl salicylate. On a similar note, methylated spirit is similar to surgical spirit but contains pyridine as well as methanol and a purple dye to make it undrinkable. It is used as a cleaner and a fuel.
