Sanded Grout
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.
If the question is "WHAT" is Cement, Sand, water & if you want color then some Pigments
You can not make tile grout ! - It's a very complex sealing cement. Even those who have worked with it for years just go and buy it, there is no point in trying to make a product that is already cheap and easy to get.
You will need a clean , level cement surface, mortar, grout, tile spacers, notched trowel and wet tile saw. Also, a bucket and stirring tool.
No, the grout allows for tile expansion and contractions, without it your tile could crack but there are some tile that can be installed with minimal (1/16inch) grout lines.
Improper installation. You must install cement board over the sub floor before you tile. If the tile was glued to plywood which is not waterproof, the plywood will absorb moisture which will cause the grout to crack and deteriorate

With grout
It depends on the type of tile you have. If the tile is unglazed and porous (as mostly all travertine is) then you will need to seal the tile before you grout it so that the grout does not soak into the tile and cause it to become dull. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for the tile that you have.

You risk having the loose tile cause the grout to chip out. Find a way to secure the tile first.
The tile is not the issue as much as the sturdiness of the sub floor and the installation of cement board over the sub floor that keeps the tile and grout from cracking. Tile on a cement slab should hold just fine, as long as there are no unsupported pockets between the two. Our upright piano is on a tiled floor with no issues.
