I am using Kilz 2 latex primer indoor / outdoor on a house after power washing it if I put a second coat of primer on will that protect the house as an outer coat?

No.

It's called "primer" for a reason. Read the label.

"KILZ 2® LATEX is a fast drying, €‹water-base, multi-purpose
primer-sealer-stainblocker that can be topcoated with latex or oil-base
paint."

It probably will not provide the kind of UV protection or durability
of a good, acrylic latex, heavily pigmented paint.

Why would you want to use it as the top coat?

Misinterpretation of what "can" is referring to here...it's the latex
_or_ oil it's intended as qualifying, not whether there's an option to
use it as finish coat or not.

I've got the interior of my garage "painted" with it. It is working out
fine. I would not expect to do the same thing for exterior work (for
the reasons above).

No, it is a PRIMER, not a topcoat.

I just painted some re-cemented cracks in a cinder block retaining wall
with a similar product. It looks the same shade white as on the blocks
and I don't think I will need to paint over it.
