No, I would try to avoid that at all costs. If you do it, it will crack. It's best to remove the existing tile and smooth out subfloor before installing any tile, and most especially for installing marble which is very fragile.
If you are installing a floating laminate floor, you can easily put it right over the tile.
Generally you would put the trim on after the tile is done. Especially if you are laying ceramic tile and need a mud base or cement board. If the room connects to another without tile, I would do the trim first. For example, the kitchen has tile and it flows directly to the dining room that has wood down and won't be replaced. If you put the trim down after the tile, the trim in the kitchen will be at least 3/4" taller then the dining room. This is only an issue when you have a really open floor plan.
Yes, you can put rug over ceramic tile.
You have to put a cement board like Hardibacker, Wonderboard or Durock over the ceramic tile.

I want to put ceramic tile flooring in my kitchen but i don't know how to measure the footage. What is the formula for measuring square footage for ceramic tile?

No, since glaze is a process that requires it to be fired. There are professionals who use an epoxy on glazed ceramic to change colors if that is what you want to achieve.
That would depend on whether they are ceramic tiles or more vinyl tiles.

Can you and should you are two different things. You could, but you wouldn't be happy with your results. It's always best to remove all old floor covering prior to installing new ceramic tiles. Whether you buy expensive tile or find cheap ceramic tile for sale, you always want a clean and solid surface to start with.
Take a pic, buy some tape...
