Floating an engineered wood flooring is done using an underlay between the sub floor and the new floor and then the engineered flooring is laid over the top and glued at the tongue and grooves to keep it together. if the flooring is a click joint then gluing is not required.
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.
The foam pads used for laminates are often moisture barrier's. By not allowing the moisture from the concrete anywhere to go, it will trap it with the wood parquet. Wet wood swells and will cause the laminate to fail. For this reason, laminate should not be laid on top of parquet which is on a concrete subfloor.
hardwood or vinyl . tile on a raised foundation will always crack in the grout lines
You can. You start by applying moisture barrier to the concrete--flooring stores have it--then gluing the hardwood to the concrete.
A fitted carpet means that the carpet covers the whole of the floor area. An underlay may be laid first and the carpet laid on top. The carpet is not attached to the floor.

You don't, if you want your carpet to stay stretched and flat on your floor. You see, laminate flooring is not attached to your floor in any way. It floats. The boards are locked together, but if you pull up on the side of a board, it will detach itself easily. So if you attach tack strips to that laminate and then stretch a carpet over it, the tension of the carpet will very likely pull your laminate up at the edges. To do this the right way, you'll need to remove the laminate flooring (you'll find this VERY easy to do), install tack strips to the subflooring, install carpet pad, and then carpet. It'll stay like it's supposed to.

Always, always choose neutral colors for carpets/flooring. That way you can put any color furniture on top of them. With yellow walls, I would recommend Zinc gray carpet: plumcarpet[dot]com/products/zincgray-carpet Gives you nice contrast, but still frees you up. If you use a bright color in flooring it limits what you can do with the rest of the room.
Waterfall carpet installation is a method where the carpet is laid out in a continuous roll, allowing it to "waterfall" over the edge of stairs or other surfaces without any seams. This technique provides a smooth, seamless appearance and is often used for staircases to create a polished look. The carpet is typically secured at the top and bottom of the stairs, ensuring it stays in place while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. Overall, waterfall installation is favored for its clean lines and ease of maintenance.
It depends on the type of floor that you are putting down the vinyl flooring on top of. If it is concrete, then make sure it is clean, dry and repair any cracks or holes. If the old vinyl flooring is in good repair then just put the new vinyl flooring over it or use an embossing leveler for slightly worn vinyl flooring. If the old vinyl flooring is in very poor shape remove it completely. Plywood underlayment can be used for other types of flooring that you will put new vinyl flooring down on top of.

It is more challenging to spin a top on carpet compared to a hard, flat surface like wood or tile because the carpet provides more friction, which can slow down the top's rotation. It might be possible to spin a top on carpet, but it may not spin as smoothly or for as long.
Yes, you can put laminate over linoleum flooring as long as the linoleum is in good condition and the surface is properly prepared. It is important to ensure that the linoleum is clean, smooth, and free of any damage before installing the laminate flooring on top.
