There could be a difference between the new cedar and the old stained cedar when all is stained. To lessen this difference, stain the new unstained cedar siding. Allow this to dry overnight, then stain the entire house. This will lessen any differences between the two.
Another way to lesson the color difference is to use a wood siding stripper/brightener when you powerwash. This will increase the overall material cost, but could help if the 2 coating with stain doesn't work.
You have two choices with the trim, prime and paint or apply two coats of stain in the lighter color. If you want to paint, prime the wood with a good oil based wood primer, not the quick drying type.
I would buy a gallon of stain for the trim and test a easy to stain area. See if two coats will cover. Why prime and paint, which is two times around the house anyway, when you could be staining.
