before I paint my floors?
Or can I just paint over whatever is under the carpet/vinyl?
Do I need to lay new plywood...

I painted the Plywood that was there.
I just made sure to scrape it first. Then I primed it and used gloss oil-based deck paint. That was a year ago and both rooms are holding up very well.
Pics in my album.
A great solution if a new floor is not in the budget... IT'S CHEAP!

I've been looking at your pics for a while, while I was deliberating on whether to use peel and stick vinyl, laminate, or paint for my floors, you were a great help!

Just remember - you will not be able to get the floor perfectly smooth and flat. It will drive you crazy trying.
I used Bondo for big cracks and holes. I believe you can see that in some of my pics.
I would suggest a pattern of some sort to break up the imperfect bumpiness of the plywood. You could sponge paint or stamp it like I did.
You will need to wipe it down good with a lacquer thinner or something - then a good primer coat. I would highly recommend an oil based paint - especially outdoor deck paint. It is heavy duty and glossy. Give it 24 hours between coats - take your time.
