If these are VCT tile, 12 x 12 or 9 x 9 inch, you can use a stripper to take off the yellowing affect. You can do the same with most vinyl but you will want to test it in a corner or closet first. Depending on why it is yellowing it may or may not work.
Odds are its the wax & build up that is yellowing, wax stripper & a good rotating brush to work all the old stuff off &you will be amazed at the color change

Yes. In some but not in all. It is also found in the glue that hold the tiles to the floor.
You simply clean your old floor and lay the tiles down directly over it.You'll need something to trim the tiles like a utility knife.
First you have to pull up the old flooring. Once you have the old flooring up you have to put the tile glue on the floor, and place the tile on top of it. Then you have to grout in between each of the tiles. When you get to the edges you will have to cut the tiles to fit.
No, they are glazed and will not allow paint to bond to the surface.
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.
David and Goliath
they are new vinyl strips with wood textured surface and adhesive backing for easy installation. please advice if it is applicable to the mosaic floors and will not bubble up due to moist underneath when the room temperature is low.

You need to measure your wall/floor accurately to work out the square footage of tiles needed. Your tile supplier will be able to work this out for you if you take along your measurements. Your walls/floor will then need to be clean and free of old tile adhesive. You may need to install a new hardboard floor to cover old floorboards. Use a spirit level then starting from the longest straightest part begin to install your tiles. You will need an adhesive suitable to the weight of the tile you are using, a tile cutter to cut tiles to fit odd gaps and grout to finish off the joints between the tiles. Use spacers to ensure that the tiles are laid out evenly. A good DIY book will have all the information you need to make a good job of this task.
Mop the floor with the tile cleaner. Spray the cleaner on walls and counters then wipe it down with a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive mops and sponges because these scratch the tile and can damage old grout.
