I have tiled over cork tiles with ceramic tiles and it worked fine in a bathroom, around a bath. If the current tiles are really well fixed it should be fine.

Can you install vct tile over vct tile?
Yes you can install vct over existing vct. The existing vct must be well adhered to the subfloor, no loose tiles or cracked and chipped tiles. If tiles are missing or must be removed you will need to patch in those spots with a suitable portland cement leveler or new pieces of vct. You will need to sand off the wax layer that may be present on the existing vct because if it is left on it can wear loose over time causing adhesion failure of the new vct and glue. Sweep all dust and contaminants from the floor.
When tiling up against existing carpet is there something that goes in between them or does the tile just but up against the carpet?
Either way, there is a metal strip available that has a groove in one side for the tile and a lip that goes over the carpet. The most common brand name for these metal strips is Schluter.
