Answer 1

sorry, you will need to respray it. Once finished apply a coat of clear lacquer.

If you use varnish it will discolour (unless it has ultra violet light inhibitors).

The lacquer is like a clear varnish that you can get in spray cans (or tins)

here is a link, alternatively just google "lacquer spray"

Answer 2

Most of those one-coat spray paints aren't very durable. I would touch up the dull spots with more paint, and seal it all with a matte or semi-gloss varnish
