Interior paint could be used on the exterior with a much shorter lifespan. To extend the lifespan a topcoat to seal it would be advisable. Instead of this two step process, an exterior paint is advisable.

Yes, of course you can put paint wherever you feel like it. However you may have weathering issues with using interior on the outside. I think it may start flaking next summer.

Is there a paint additive that will allow interior paint to work as exterior paint?

The only over-the-counter additive you could put into interior paint to make it more suitable for outside use is mildewcide. Interior paint doesn't really know that where it is going though. The reason a paint is classified as interior is because it is able to withstand cleaning. staining and scrubbing. Exterior paint, on the other hand, is formulated to withstand several freeze/thaw cycles and to hold up to UV rays, slowing the color fade. Avoid fade prone colors and expect to repaint withing three to five years.
