You should not tile on top of a hardwood floor. If you do, it will crack as the wood underneath will expand and contract throughout the seasons.
Instead you should be installing on top of some sort of concrete floor. You could either add mud/self leveling mix or cement board. You may also want to remove the hardwood first, if you can.
you cut them so they fit
I will not explain exactly how to tile but i will tell you that your floor has to be very flat, an 18" tile is harder to install when there are crowns in floor they are not as forgiving as a 12 or 13" tile and you will have unacceptable lippage in your 18" tile, for installing go to john bridges website.
The first thing you want to do is be sure that the original tile is secure and even. If it is loose, or uneven the new tile may pop out or crack under normal wear and tear. If it is uneven or unsecure you can lay a sub-floor to give the new tile a even base.
It is possible but I would not reccomend it. If possible remove the old tile before laying the new tile. If you want to avoid removing the old tile you can lay a cement board over the old tile before installing the new tile.
It could, but unless it's extremely uneaven (like natural slate) just lay down the pad and install the floor. Above all, read the instructions that come with the floor.

To install a vinyl floor over tile, you will need to thoroughly clean and level the tile surface, apply a primer specifically designed for use with vinyl flooring, and then lay the vinyl planks or tiles according to the manufacturer's instructions. It is important to ensure that the tile surface is smooth and free of any debris before installing the vinyl flooring.
