I've never tried that as it's not generally done. Staining is usually done before sealing.
You'll have to remove the Thompson's before you stain unless it has been long enough that the Thompson's is no longer effective. To test to see if the surface will take stain, spray some water on it. If it beads up, it will not accept a stain.

Can Thompsons waterseal be mixed with latex primer to seal wood for priming instead of using linseed oil?
Not the original solvent based Thompsons Water Seal. Latex primer is water based and oil and water don't mix; they would seperate.
Can you put thompsons water seal over a flat paint?

Can you apply oil based deck stain over acrylic stain?
Yes.
Can you stain over weathered paint?
If you paint over the "weathered" paint, it will chip and cause the stain to come off. Also, the stain needs a clean sanded surface in order for the wood to absorb it. Otherwise, there is no reason to use stain.
Can you put polyurethane over deck stain?
Can you put stain in polyurethane to darken the color?
