Use a good mastic or adhesive
No, it will dry our too much and the tile will loosen.
Possibly because the tile adhesive wasn't totally cured, or the oil base paint wasn't sufficiently mixed. I have used oil over tile adhesive and it worked for me.
If they are ceramic tiles and this is the adhesive used to bond them, instructions will be on the container.
100% silicone will do that.
it may not be adhereing to the tile adhesive (not enough used or improperly installed?)
There are special adhesives in tubes for this . My preference is PL 200 or PL 400
You do not want to use a mixing thinset for backsplash. you would want to use something a little stronger for walls, being a carpenter for 7 years i would use mastic tile adhesive. There are alot of advantages in using this product and the main reason is most of it is pre mixed. The mastic tile adhesive is an organically based mortar that is commonly used in the laying of ceramic tiles. This adhesive is made from the resin of the mastic tree and is available as a thin liquid, a paste, or a glue. Some common construction adhesives are a form of mastic resin. Using mastic as a tile adhesive does carry some advantages over mortar.1. Tremendous Holding StrengthMastic is used mostly with ceramic tile, but is also used with heavier materials such as stone and marble. This strength is the reason that many people will use a mastic tile adhesive in shower enclosures where there is a stone tile. If the seal remains the tile, then mastic adhesive will last for many years without any problems.2. Quick Setting Tile AdhesiveThe mastic tile adhesive is very quick setting. While this does have some drawbacks to it, it is also an advantage. Heavier tiles will set quicker so you can get more of the project competed.3. Easy to UseWhen spreading out over a backerboard to apply the tiles to, mastic tile adhesive is much easier to work with than mortar. Not being as thick, the mastic spreads out evenly and gives the tile a very good area to bond with.Read more: http://www.doityourself.com/stry/3-advantages-of-using-mastic-tile-adhesive/#b#ixzz23kIZTizw

There are many kinds of tile adhesive and you don't specify which . However most are basically of two kinds - Very fine Portland cement with additives, used mainly for stone or ceramic floor tiles and a type of modified latex for ceramic wall tiles.
Thinset or silicone, both sold at "DIY" stores and pool supply stores.
No, it woud take too long to harden and would very likely shrink.
