Absolutely! I especially recommend it for children's room as it is the easiest paint finish to clean. A damp microfiber cloth will clean all but the most stubborn spots.

Yes, enamel paint is used often on woodwork and trims, it is not recommended for walls. Check for lead content and do not use if it contains lead.

You could, but enamel paint is not designed to cover large spaces such as walls. If you are painting a small surface for which enamel paint is designed, make sure the room is ventilated. If you intend to paint your bedroom walls, use a paint specifically designed for walls, which is available at hardware stores.

You could but I would not, enamel has an oil base to it and it takes longer to dry and has a smell to it.
