   Yes.

   This is basically the first thing anyone learns when learning kanji.

   This isn’t correct.

   When used to say ‘what floor’, 何階 is *still* read なんかい. It’s only the meaning that slightly changes depending on the context.

   In a similar vein, 何県 becoming なんけん is theoretically possible, but has a basically near-zero chance of every actually coming up in conversation.
