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.
What are the differences between backer board and cement board, and which one is more suitable for my project?
Backer board and cement board are both used as underlayment for tile installations, but they have some differences. Backer board is made of a combination of cement and wood fibers, while cement board is made of cement and reinforced with fiberglass mesh. Cement board is more durable and water-resistant, making it suitable for wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Backer board is lighter and easier to cut, making it a good choice for smaller projects or areas with less moisture exposure. Consider the specific needs of your project to determine which material is more suitable.

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.
