What causes a squeal when you use the shower diverter?
It's usually due to a combination of two things: back pressure from the shower head, aggravated by the newer low-flow shower heads, acting against a slight leak at the diverter valve. I find that it gets worse after I've been away for a few days and assume that there's scale build-up in both places... the shower head and the diverter. You can try using a descaling solution on the shower head and/or checking that the diverter valve is seating properly and possibly greasing its seat with some silicone grease.

How do you get the shower diverter stem out of the tap casting on an Indiana Brass shower diverter if the brass nut comes off but not the stem and the stem is not threaded and rotates 360 degrees?
Depending on the brand, there are 2 brass nuts. 1 is the one that holds the packing down around the stem so it won't leak (this is the easier of the 2 to get to & probably the 1 you've taken off) The 2nd one is larger (close to an inch) and it's the one that hold the valve stem in the body of the valve.
Will it cause water to leak down the pipe below your unit if yiu have a loose tiles and grout?
Yes. Tub or shower water entering the wall through loose tiles or grout can run down the pipes, through the holes the pipes are going though, and into the unit below. It is more common for water to get into the unit below from leaking shower doors or poorly used tub/shower curtains that allow water to leak out the face of the tub/shower. It then enters the gap where the tub/shower meets the floor, then builds up on the sub-floor, and eventually into the unit below.
