Depends on if you are making an alternate warm color or an alternate cool color. 1st scenario: add cool to warm in small increments until the desired color is achieved. Reverse this to have the same effect for an alternate cool color. Generally speaking though, it is easier to darken a light color than the opposite.

The result is the same regardless of which way it is done. The proportions of the paints are what matter. It's like saying in mathematics 2+3=3+2! 2+3=3+4 isn't true though.

Cool to the warm, because it's always easier to darken than it is to lighten colors. If you went the other way, you would have to use a lot more paint to gain the same color.

Night Angel is right.
But I suggest you experiment with small batches of paint while you are learning to create your own colors. Doing so will save you some wasted paint and a little money.

Depends on what I want the end result to be.
Don't really understand the question- more details needed!

It makes no difference. It is the proportions that determines the final colour.
