Can you paint over this treatment?

I used it to treat the inside of a log cabin but I didn’t paint over it. No reason why you cannot paint. It is designed to penetrate deep into the wood and barely affects the surface. It is designed to treat timber window frames which are then normally painted. I have used similar treatments on timber and painted over them with no ill effects. If in doubt, try a small test piece first.

I want to apply two applications. How long apart do I need to leave it between the first and second application?

Product is a minimum two coat application, further coats can be applied when the previous coat has dried significantly into the surface (approximately 60 minutes).

Does this cure or protect from wood worm?

Yes.. it says this, at the bottom of the description = Features added fungicides, algaecides and Permethrin to actively kill and protect against all known wood rot decay, fungi and wood boring insects. Or you can buy, Wood Worm Eradicater by the same brand.....

Can this be used on plywood inside a stable. The ply has a white bloom on it caused by the stable getting wet.

Sadly, we would not advise use on ply or similar
