You shouldn't use any wet products on laminate floors.
Laminate flooring can get wet, but only the top. Laminate flooring's sides, open seams, damaged areas, and bottoms can never get wet. If you install the laminate flooring in a full bathroom, you must take extreme precautions given by laminate manufacturers.
This depends on the manufacture and the construction of the laminate flooring. Generally speaking, it is unwise to put laminate into a full bath. The frequent humidity changes from bathing, the water from people exiting the tub, and the change of a catastrophic amount of water getting onto the floor is high. A half bath, or a bath with just a toilet and sink, fair better with laminate. Although you still have to worry about the toilet over flowing or a water line breaking. If you decide to put laminate into a bathroom or even a kitchen, it is best to use a siliconized caulk around the walls and toilet flange to prevent water from seeping under the flooring.
Remove the laminate floor first
Laminate floor cannot be refinished. It will have to be replaced. Hardwood flooring can be refinished.
You should not buff a laminate floor.
No, laminate is floating type of floor installed over an insulation pad. Hardwood floor has to be nailed, stapled or glued to the subfloor. If you do manage to install hardwood on top of laminate sooner or later your Laminate floor will expand due to high temperature or humidity and it will create gaps between hardwood planks.
A lot of laminate cleaners are just vinegar and water. The key though with safely cleaning the floor is to not putting a lot of cleaner on the floor. Put the mixture into a spray bottle. Spray the floor floor and clean up with a terry cloth mop.
If your laminate didn't shine out of the box, nothing will really shine it. A clean floor shines more then a dirty one. Use a good laminate cleaner, like Pergo's.
