What's the difference between Splash, Paint and Mottled?

So what would I get if I bred this splash EE to a Speckled Sussex. The mottled gene is apparently recessive, so would it be the same as just breeding it to a red hen?

Yes. The chicks would be blue (from the splash) most likely with red leakage. They would carry mottling but wouldn’t show it.

What about my Welbar and my Crested Barred Olive Egger?

Those aren’t mottled, they’re barred

I'm sorry, I meant what would breeding them to my splash rooster look like?

Might be better to start your own thread.
