Not JUST a grout no. You can get a cement that will also work as a grout but a pure grout would not have the adhesion required to stick the tiles to the wall properly, you should not use it as a cement.
Can you use wall tile grout on floor tiles?
You can. It is less gritty but it works. Edit - While this is true, it's important to understand the wall grout is designed for thinner grout lines, so if you use it on the floor, make sure your grout lines are thin. Otherwise, the grout will crack.
What is the difference between sanded and non-sanded grout?
The obvious answer is sanded grout has sand. But the in depth answer has many differences. Sanded grout which is the most common, can be used in a grout joint from 1/8" to 1/2" (and larger but check the grout). Sanded grout scratches many tile like glass. Non sanded grout can only be used on joints 1/8" or less. Non sanded grout is typically seen on marble and granite tile, many wall tile, and all glass tile.

How often should you seal your shower grout?
The gaps found between most tile work are called grout lines. After the tile was set those voids or gaps should have been grouted. Luckily it is never too late to apply the grout. You can get a small box of tile grout from any hardware shore. It's real easy to apply. Just follow the instructions on the box.

What is the recommended maximum 'occupant' weight limit on a wall hung or mounted commode?
250 pounds. This is not a correct answer. It all depends on the commode. A Kohler K-4330 has a maximum of 500lbs and it is wall mounted. I do not know on other brands but you would have to check with the manufacture (As I did) to see the weight limit of any specific commode. Both answers are correct/incorrect: The load rating is only as good as the installation. If the toilet is hung on a cinder block wall with lead/plastic seating anchor bolts and grouted in using regular grout it won't hold more than about 200# (assuming a 200# person sits very lightly). If the toilet is hung on a reinforced CONCRETE wall using stainless steel anchors set in epoxy then it will easily exceed the manufacturer's load rating. If the toilet is anchored to concrete (as mentioned above) and grouted in with a quality epoxy based grout it will be able to handle 500+ pounds with ease, but I pity the person who ever has to take out that toilet

How do you spell grauted?
