Can it be used for chalk painted furniture?

Yes, that is all I use it for is my chalk painted furniture. I use it on any piece I paint black, or if I want to get an antique look on a creamy color. It also makes red look very deep and rich. I just love this dark wax so easy to work with.

Dining table stained & finished with polyurethane, will this protect top better than just adding more coats of polyurethane?

Unlike the conventional "wisdom" repeated here, you do not need to sand between coats of polyurethane, it does not mechanically bond. It always solvent bonds. The reason they tell you to sand between coats is to remove any oil, wax or other debris that will interfere with the chemical bond. If you have layers of polyurethane delaminating, you've done something wrong. Either the surface was contaminated or you mixed an oil and water based finish. It can also happen if you don't allow layers to cure between coats. Adding wax will offer a layer of protection but for most things, polyurethane is a superior finish for protecting wood in most cases.

does this work like the Annie Sloan's dark paste wax?

It is a little harder to buff out and doesn't get as dark as Annie with 1 coat that's why I add a little black paint to mine.. 2 coats and it looks good .. if you want to actually see dark pop with little woolrk I would stick with Annie it's less work.

I bought a blue painted dresser, and wonder if the dark or light Minwax would be better. It is a medium hue blue, not dark but not light. Please help!

If you want the dresser to stay the same blue I would use the light wax. The dark wax may make the piece darker than you want. The dark wax is great for black paint, or for lighter painted pieces you want to give an aged look.
