Prep it with appropriate chaulk/filler in any areas that need it and once done and dry paint thoroughly with 50/50 water and pva. Once dry paint with any colour you like.

Yes

Yes, but does not look as effective as on a smooth wall.

Only if you prepare it correctly, but I would suggest to contact manufacturers for how this is done

Yes you can.
I would recommend sealing the artex with a primer firstly, and then once dry (2hrs) you can apply the metallic lustre paint.
