Go to hardware shop and buy if your paint usage is not more than 10 tins.

Normally contractor paint not so near to the border of the cornice. Leaving maybe 3-5 inches of space, and use the brush to paint back. I've seen some people using newspaper to cover the cornice, buts its a lot of work taping those cornices.

Use the white tape, as the tape adhesiveness is not so strong thus will not peel off the paint.

Yes you can. You just have to paint very carefully and it takes a long time to do it if you decide to paint your whole house.

Normally, this should not be a problem for paint contractor. If you never paint before, then it would be best to paint it all at once. You will have a hard time to have the correct mixture amount like your previous paint, and you will see one part white, and one part less white (if you paint in white)
