My friend was able to use one coat, but she was painting the wall a slightly darker color. I painted a dark wall with a nearly white color and had to use two coats. The first coat looked horrible and I was surprised that the coverage was great once I put on the second.

It will work over another latex paint, however it won't be as scrubable as a normal top coat, and it won't adhere as well as a paint over a primer. Better to apply the primer, then the paint. If the surface is clean and deglossed though, you really don't need a primer and can coat the surface with a quality wall paint.
