Why is it best to use underlayment when replacing a floor?
Your new floor will only be as good as the subfloor it goes over. New underlayment doesn't have wax, cracks, stains, rot or anything that is the reason you are replacing it, and it is smooth & provides a good surface for adhesion... the process of removing the old unearths bad subfloor conditions very often that would have compromised your new floor , so it is also part of a good process too...

Not really a good idea. The water over time from the concrete will cause the board damage. If you use a good pad there is no reason you cannot lay the carpet over concrete.

if the old floor is down good and tight, you can go right over it. If it has a strong embossed pattern it may telegraph through the new floor though. you can skim coat over that if you need to.
Why do you put thin set under backer board?
The thin set under the board is to fill in any low spots in the floor. It is not to adhere the board to the floor. It is preventative against deflection. If there is a low spot and you do not fill it in, the board will flex and the grout/ tile will crack. Do not use construction adhesive it will do more harm then good.
Can you install laminate floor over ceramic tile?
In my opinion, no it will swell.In my opinion, yes you can install laminate over tile if the tile is in good condition/stable and even. You would first put underlayment above the tile and then the laminate on top. (you always add underlayment before laminate). It is important, though, to make sure you have enough clearance for the doors (you may need to shave the doors). If it's a kitchen, you also want to make sure there is enough clearance for the appliances.

Can a cushion vinyl floor be laid over another cushion vinyl floor?
It is possible, but it's not the best practice. If you can easily remove the existing vinyl, then do so. If the vinyl won't peel up, then you should consider two possibilities: Remove the vinyl along with the wood underlayment (or scrape it off if your subfloor is concrete), or install new wood underlayment on top of the existing vinyl.A third possibility is this: If the existing vinyl is securely glued to the floor, you could apply an embossing leveler (cement-based product) in a very thin skim coat over the vinyl. This seals in any stains, levels the floor, and gives the new vinyl a nice, smooth surface to lay over (or a good surface for vinyl glue to adhere to).Most flooring manufacturers will not honor the warranty on their vinyl if it is installed over existing vinyl, unless you do the embossing leveler step above.
