Generally no. Wall tile are often made of material with low PSI ratings. These ratings tell how much pressure per square inch a flooring can with stand. Being made to go on the wall, they only need to be of marginal strength. This isn't always true, but that said, 95% of the time, wall tile cannot be put on the floor.
Not reccommended. It typically wont handle the traffic, and will end up cracking on you
Not really as wall tiles are usually highly glazed and would be VERY slippy if they get wet, there also usually a different clay background and not designed to be stood on. Hope this helps
