Does anyone have any experience with heat? One review mentioned bad with heat. Using this product on a dining room table. Semi-hot plates...

You should be fine as long as you use trivets. That's for any table.

Which is better as a topcoat, Valspar ultimate polyurethane matte or Valspar satin finish

The matte has a nice subtle sheen and satin can be quite glossy. The matte looks great on a lot of furniture but for a table top, the satin finish is usually best

Can this be applied over Minwax's Polycrylic gloss water-borne polyurethane after some minor sanding?

Absolutely. All waterbased polys are compatible with one another; their only difference is the filler used to make them less reflective. This is my preferred way to finish furniture professionally. You want to build the finish in gloss, and then only do the final coat at matte or whatever the sheen you want. This is because the less reflective the finish is, the more flattening agents (semi-opaque solid bits) there are that obscure the wood beneath. Building up ten semi-opaque topcoats looks very muddy compared to the same thickness of transparent gloss with a final matte topcoat.

Is this water or oil based?

This is water base. Soap and water cleanup.
