When figuring the sq/ft do I measure the walls of which I will be painting or do I use the actual sq/ft of the house floor?

Neither… the only way to estimate a job is not by sq ft… but like this:
How long will it take (for 1 man) to finish the job (in days)… then multiply your charge per day (for 1 man)… next add the cost of paint and materials, and add perhaps 5% cost for overhead (taxes, insurance etc)…
Yes, and use the floor plan to figure sq/ft of lid (ceiling) if your painting it to.
