can this be used on plastered walls to prevent penetrating damp?

I'm looking to use this product on bare interior plastered walls and despite some references to this being an EXTERNAL product, the Zinnser website has published this case study of renovating St. Barts Hospital: http://www.zinsseruk.com/case-study/st-barts/ which describes having successfully used this product on interior pastered walls while complying with all relevant health and safety standards.

Was wondering if this could be used on the floor of the basement aswell

I would not use it on a floor. I painted our exterior yard with it and it wore very badly. If you want to keep damp out it is great for walls but not floors.

i have a room where we get condesation and have tried different mold and mildew paints. would this paint cover the existing paints?

Look on the web about painting on other paints. I believe it can. However rhe paint is more to keep what out. If you get condensation its generaly an insulation problem as warm air is hitting cold a cold surface.

Should i use zinsser primer 123 before using thus paint

Yes. I did two coats on a basement wall, no damp . You then can paint on top. I used masonry paint as it was a brick wall.
