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.
If you are installing a floating laminate floor, you can easily put it right over the tile.

You could but it's not advisableWall tile adhesive is thicker so it won't run down the wall and the tiles are less likely to slipANS 2 - I have done this a few times. If you use tile spacers, no problem.
