No it's impossible
- Edit: I would have to disagree with this answer. Typically, you would not glue click lock hardwood floors, but if the floor is level and even you could both click it and glue it. It's not necessary, but you could do it.
ANS 3 - If the click-lock flooring is laid properly it should be on thin wavy foam sheet. -It's supposed to 'float' ! If this is left out and the laminate is glued to sub floor, chances are good that it will start to separate in much used areas. -NOT a good idea to glue it

How do you decide between engineered hardwood floors and natural hardwood floors?
If we can nail it down we use (prefinished) hardwood. If we have to glue it down (on slab) we use engineered. You can certainly use engineered in any application whether nail down, glue down, or even floating. There really aren't many compelling reasons to use solid anymore beyond prestige and the fact that is has zero chemical emissions. Engineered can be refinished just like solid, as long as the top veneer is think enough. If you plan to be in your house long enough to refinish the floor, use an engineered with a 3mm+ top veneer.

Can you glue down brazilian oak flooring?
The ability to glue down a floor is not dependent on the species of wood. Rather, it depends on the construction of the wood and the condition of the subfloor. If your wood is solid, you should nail it and not glue it, regardless of species. If it's engineered hardwood and if your surface is clear smooth then you can glue it. Bamboo is the one exception. Technically, the solid bamboo is considered solid, but it is constructed like an engineered product, so can glue solid bamboo down (you can also nail it into plywood, as well as float it). Also, you usually see in the box, the manufacturer's recommendation on how you can install, if it is a prefinished product.
