Hi, yes you can use the same paint for the wood and walls, if you go to a paint outlet thay should help you with what you need, these days there are paints that can paint on brick wood and metel and also have paints that can be used without undercoats, all the best.
The old paint must be cleaned with TSP before adding new paint over it; especially if the old paint is oil-based. It also helps to lightly scruff (sand) the old paint; this gives the new paint better adhesion. You also need to do 2 coats of new paint.
bad move
steps covered with gloss paint are very slippery so you have introduced a slip hazaed into the house
repaint with a non slip paint or paint again a sprinkle fine san in the wet paint to introduce grip
No --- newly painted wood is already sealed
try painting it over with a 2 pack clear epoxy paint
2 pack epoxy paint is about the hardest surface you can get and the clear finish will show the original paint color through
or paint it again using the color in epoxy 2 pack paint

Let me start by saying these types of paint sprayers are not usually recommended for painting large things like room walls because you're going to spend a lot of time refilling the paint cup. The cup only holds 20 ounces of paint and that won't go very far on your walls. If all your paint isn't mixed and properly thinned at the same time your walls could end up with a checker board look. You would usually be way further ahead to rent an airless paint sprayer. If you have to use it; first run your paint through a paint strainer, avaliable at any paint or box store (The Home Deopt, Lowes, etc). Even new paint has impurities that will clog paint guns. It's highly recommended you mix in a paint conditioner like Flotrol but not absolutely necessary. Next, you're going to have to experiment with the consistency of the paint to get a good even flow out of the gun. The thinner you have to make the paint to get a good flow, the lighter and more coats you're going to have to apply. It's also recommended to run a paint soaked roller over the wall right after you spray it to even out the paint and remove any overlap marks.
if your after touch up paint, it depends on the paint on your heater some of them are enamel, powdercoatings, or a high temp paint and you must know what type of paint is on your heater first as they can react badly if you mix paints. If it is a powder coating or a enamel paint you could probably get touch up from a near by wholesaler if heat paint we get from a company in australia as where our shoowroom is but its called stove bright and you can find it on the internet and coast about $25au, and it comes in a spray pack or tin to brush on, you can also get high temp black paint from most auto repair shops or wholesalers so it really depends on your heaters paint job if you don't know what type of paint try manufacturer
