=====How to Paint a Room=====
[https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/home-diy/painting/how-to-paint-room.htm by Walter Curtis howstuffworks]
Painting a room can be a task that takes a couple of hours, a half day, or more. It all depends on what and how much you decide to paint. You can freshen up a room by giving a door or cabinet a new coat of paint in just a few hours. Or you can break it into smaller jobs and spread them out over a week or more. Whatever the size of the job you decide to tackle, the painting techniques remain the same.

Can you use one type of interior paint for every room of the house? Ideally so, but conditions in one room are not always the same in another room. The basement is not the same as the kitchen, and the kitchen isn't the same as a bedroom.

=====Estimating Interior Paint=====
[https://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/home-diy/painting/estimating-interior-paint.htm by  Fix-It Club Howstuffworks]
Estimatin­g the paint you'll need for a job is easy. Take a few minutes at home to measure the area to be painted. A gallon of paint will typically cover 450 square feet according to the manufacturer's calculations. It's safer to figure 400 square feet of cove­rage per gallon of paint. If you're buying 2 or more gallons of the same color, it's a good idea to mix them all together at home so color variations don't show up in the ­middle of a wall.

I just recently bought a home and am planning to repaint it. But the wall is dry plaster or something and absorbs too much paint. I used Satin finish but it ended up flat when the paint dried. I did 2 layers but it didn't help. I thought there was something wrong with the paint and tried it on a closet with newer drywall and the sheen was correct.

First impressions are everything when selling your home.

If you want the paint to stick, yes.
You needn't sand all the way down to clear grain but at least go over it well enough to get rid of everything that is loose.

=====How do I fix this small chip of paint? We're renting and have an inspection coming up soon.=====
[https://www.reddit.com/r/howto/comments/pi6qs1/how_do_i_fix_this_small_chip_of_paint_were/ by reddit]
Use a sharp utility knife or a scraper to remove the rest of the loose paint from the wall. Save the little piece that you just chipped off and take it to a paint store to have it color matched. Buy a sample size of the paint, a small brush, a 1.5" or 2" cheap plastic putty knife, some form of 200+ grit sandpaper, and a small container of Dap Drydex spackle (any spackle should work, this stuff is just nice).

I tried to fix holes I made in drywall. I got the spackle, sanded it and all. I took a paint chip and went to ace hardware. I got a small bottle of paint. I painted it up.

=====How to make this patched drywall match the rest of the wall=====
[https://www.reddit.com/r/howto/comments/yncqh6/how_to_make_this_patched_drywall_match_the_rest/ by reddit]
Fresh drywall sucks up a lot of paint. It’s better to saturate the pores with a few coats of cheap primer beforehand just so you don’t waste your expensive paint, but some extra coats of regular paint work just fine too. It helps to intentionally overwork the paint because it causes it to eggshell more giving it the texture of a wall that has been repainted, just don’t overwork the last coat.

First you should find the cause of the mold, if it's near a window where there's moisture etc. and address that issue.
Then you can buy chemicals at a paint store that kills the spores, use it and wash the wall. Scrub the rest of the area lightly with sandpaper, and re-paint the walls.
