You should not tile on top of a hardwood floor. If you do, it will crack as the wood underneath will expand and contract throughout the seasons. Instead you should be installing on top of some sort of concrete floor. You could either add mud/self leveling mix or cement board. You may also want to remove the hardwood first, if you can.

It is possible but I would not reccomend it. If possible remove the old tile before laying the new tile. If you want to avoid removing the old tile you can lay a cement board over the old tile before installing the new tile.
Yes, you can but you need to staple a mesh to it. Then fill the mesh with thin-set and let it dry before putting your tile down with thin-set.
The first thing you want to do is be sure that the original tile is secure and even. If it is loose, or uneven the new tile may pop out or crack under normal wear and tear. If it is uneven or unsecure you can lay a sub-floor to give the new tile a even base.

A hardwood floor can wear down over time, creating lighter colored spots on a floor. A floor refinishing gives new life to hardwood flooring, giving it the same appearance as new flooring. When refinishing a floor, it's important to sand off any existing finish. This can only be done on true hardwood floors - vinyl flooring with a wood veneer will be permanently damaged by sanding. After sanding, lay down a layer of stain on the flooring. Add a layer of polyethylene to protect the wood. Allow the flooring to dry for at least 24 hours, then buff the floor complete the refinishing job.

This is a point is debated among those who install flooring. Bruce Hardwood Flooring, the leading hardwood seller in America states felt paper or red rosin in unnecessary for installation of a nail or staple down floor. There are those who believe it acts as a vapor barrier. The issue with that thought is, if you need a vapor barrier over your wood subfloor, you shouldn't be installing wood anyway. Some believe it will reduce the squeaks in the floor. This would be a hard thing to say for sure. If this is a concern, you may want to. One thing that red rosin does do for sure is make flooring easier to install. You can more easily slide boards together and across the floor. The paper reduces the friction against the subfloor.
Different options for vinyl flooring include vinyl-backed sheets, modified loose-lay, and felt-backed vinyl.
