No, the grout allows for tile expansion and contractions, without it your tile could crack but there are some tile that can be installed with minimal (1/16inch) grout lines.

You risk having the loose tile cause the grout to chip out. Find a way to secure the tile first.
Sadly, if you are looking to fix the tile with the grout, there is none. If you are looking for something that will not crack because of movement, a high end epoxy grout.
grout removal and replacement is a hard and long project unless you already have the tools and knowledge, If you hire a tile contractor you are likely to spend anywhere from 2.50 to 3.50 a sq foot depending on the age of the grout and the thickness and width of the grout..........
Depending on the tilesetter, but typically a couple days. The floor needs to be prepared and if there was any patching it may need to dry. The tilesetter may want to come back the next day. Then the tile needs to be set and if the tilesetter has good tools that should only take an hour or two. Then the mortar needs to set before the tilesetter can do the grout. Grouting should take most of a day since the grout needs to cure while it is being cleaned. You should not walk on the tile while the grout is setting up and sealing the grout should wait for a few days. The time involved isn't so much a funciton of the size of the tile job, but more a function of the mortar and grout setting times.
No it shouldn't, but you should still grout your tile.

Grout should usually be white or contrast with the tiles, but it truly depends on your preferences.
With grout
It depends on the type of tile you have. If the tile is unglazed and porous (as mostly all travertine is) then you will need to seal the tile before you grout it so that the grout does not soak into the tile and cause it to become dull. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for the tile that you have.

Not JUST a grout no. You can get a cement that will also work as a grout but a pure grout would not have the adhesion required to stick the tiles to the wall properly, you should not use it as a cement.
