Judging by the Honeywell R7184A Controller manual, you have one of these:
You described it as terminal 4 but the diagram just shows two terminals labelled "T", but that is fine:
I found a manual for an EnviraCom device which shows terminals 2 and 3 are 24vac power:
This means we have the right connections, and according to the R7184 manual:
EnviraCOMâ„¢ Current Available: 150 mA
So the liming factor here is simply the current available. I can't find any specs at all for the thermostat you posted, but so long as it needs 150 mA or less (at 24 Vac) then it should work. You would make the following connections:
Burner Thermostat Desc
Terminal 4 T W Heating call
Terminal 3 T R or Rh 24Vac
Terminal 2 C 24Vac "Common"
Note: your current wiring may not have W and R connected correctly, because with the two-wire system it doesn't matter. Now that you need a C wire, it is important to have R connected to constant power. If wrong, your thermostat simply won't get power.
If your thermostat draws more than 150 mA, you're going to run into various strange problems that may range from occasional glitches to your burner not working at all, and I'd highly advise against doing this.
If you do need more than 150mA, normally you could upgrade the transformer -- but in this case, it's all an integrated solid-state unit. I'm actually not sure you could wire this up without damaging the burner controller. The safest thing would be to use a separate circuit with a relay, but that is far beyond the original scope so I won't post how do to that unless necessary.
According to the documentation for your unit.
The HUM terminal is a 24 VAC output, energized when the blower is operating during a call for heat.
Connect an accessory 24 VAC, 0.5 amp. maximum humidifier (if used) to the ¼ in. male quick-connect HUM terminal and COM-24V screw terminal on the control board thermostat strip.
NOTE: If the humidifier has its own 24 VAC power supply, an isolation relay may be required. Connect the 24 VAC coil of the isolation relay to the HUM and COM/24V screw terminal on the control board thermostat strip. (See Fig. 32.)
So if the humidifier is less than 0.5 amperes, then you can simply use the HUM and COM terminals. Otherwise you'll need an alternate power supply, and an isolation relay.

Connect to W1, yes
You are correct that you want to hook up the W wire from your humidifier to W1 on your furnace control, along with C to COM and R to R. This is wiring diagram 6(B) in your humidifier's installation manual, BTW.
