If the vinyl is down tight , the answer is YES, Laminate con go over it
Tile, cork, vinyl, laminate, carpet and engineered flooring.
That would depend on whether they are ceramic tiles or more vinyl tiles.
Yes you can, however, ensure that this is the best option before executing. I do this to reinforce the self-stick vinyl tile and laminate flooring in my basement and it works great. I got tired of dropping a knife or something creating a huge gash requiring replacement. The polyurethane layer has protected my floors for years. Occasional reapplication of polyurethane in spots where needed making it look new brand new again versus cutting out and re-sticking a piece of the laminate floor that will never look as good as new...I use the former. There are a lot of nay-sayers out there about polyurethane on vinyl tiles and laminate floors, but I've always had great success.
No, carpet pad is both taller and softer then pads meant for floating laminate and wood floors. No pad of any kind should be used on any other type of wood installation.
Many things can go over ceramic with ease, but the "best" option is one which works in the room you're doing. For example, laminate flooring is most forgiving of the unevenness (groutlines) of ceramic tile and easiest to install - but I would not put laminate in a bathroom (it's not moisture resistant). For a bathroom, the best option over ceramic is sheet vinyl. Be sure to use leveling compound to smooth grout lines even with the surface of tiles first.
No! Bad idea! Laminate is a floating floor that has to dissipate any moisture that comes up through it. If you put vinyl flooring over it, the laminate can't "breath" and it will respond to the humidity by swelling up and buckling.
Yes, you can.
Yes, laminate flooring can be laid over vinyl flooring, however, there are some considerations. First of all, inspect your vinyl flooring for any damage. Acordian style tears will create a "bump" in your finished laminate floor, which will be visibly noticeable, and it won't wear well. Large tears that result in missing pieces of vinyl will cause a "dip" in your finished laminate floor, which is also not a desireable result. Either and/or both of these problem areas will also compromise the integrity of your laminate flooring, and may also cause weak joints.

If you are installing a floating laminate floor, you can easily put it right over the tile.
You shouldn't use any wet products on laminate floors.

I'm guessing that you mean penny round tile. If so, no should never lay this over a laminate floor. Laminate floors are floating, so they move and your tile/grout will crack. You are also not supposed tile on top of any form of wood (laminate is recycled hardwood), because it expands and contracts so it will also cause the tile and grout to crack. You should remove the laminate. And then install on top of either smooth concrete, level it or add in cement board. If, however, you actually mean vinyl, then it depends the condition of the vinyl. It's usually better to remove it, but you might be able to get instead pour 1/2 self leveling cement or put cement board on top and then install. Your floor should be smooth and level before installing the tile.
Hardwood, yes. Laminate , yes. Tile, I wouldn't. you can put tile over it if you put backer board over it, or if you have 3/4 inch subfloor underneath and the vinyl is glued well you can use a superflex motor from lowes. but the backerboard is the best choice
You can lay tiles again but make sure you buy proper mortar. You can install any kind of floating floor such as laminate, engineering wood, interlocking vinyl tile. Your main concern should be structural integrity of existing floor, if its not falling you can do pretty much anything
yes you can but remember it is not designed for excessive or standing water contact.
