We attempted to use up the last of the paint in the roller tray by rolling some additional paint. Now, we have lapping marks on the wall (sort of like a halo around the additional rolled paint). Can we use a brush to paint over the halos so the wall looks uniform?

You should be able to touch up a properly painted wall.
The fact that your touch up shows would seem to indicate that the wall does not have enough paint. This would be true whether the paint had a different color or a different sheen. You may be able to feather out the problem, but I suspect that the first coat just didn't cover well enough.

Not likely. Sounds like you rolled over an already somewhat dry area. Dark colors & anything with a bit of sheen especially require keeping a wet edge. Plan on painting the wall over.
