Grout typically needs to dry for about 24 to 72 hours before it can be sealed.
No, the tile is non porous, but the grout will need sealing.
It depends on the type of tile you have. If the tile is unglazed and porous (as mostly all travertine is) then you will need to seal the tile before you grout it so that the grout does not soak into the tile and cause it to become dull. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for the tile that you have.

Tile has a glass finish & doesnt need wax, Wax can cause a slip & fall hazard when it gets wet Sealing tile is a misnomer, you really only need to seal the GROUT.. stop by the Depot & get some grout sealer, better for the grout
vinyl is impervious to liquid and does not need any sealing.
you can use it right after the grout dries (usually at least a day). . .let the grout cure for at least 30 days before you seal it though when you use the shower before the grout is cured, make sure you don't leave any standing water
You don't need to add any kind of grout to the eggshells. The grout, technically, is the painted background of the substrate or even unpainted before you add the eggshells.
To replace the grout in your shower, you will need to remove the old grout using a grout saw or a rotary tool, clean the area thoroughly, mix new grout according to the manufacturer's instructions, apply the new grout with a grout float, and then wipe off excess grout with a damp sponge. Allow the grout to cure for the recommended time before using the shower.

I recently bought my first new house. I need to clean the grout out and have no idea how. How do I clean out my grout?
Yes. If it is a ceramic or porcelain tile you only need to seal the grout. If you have a natural stone or quarry you need to seal the tile and the grout. Generally when you install natural stone, you seal the tile before you grout. Otherwise the colorant in the grout will seep into the tile. If the floor is existing you would seal it all at once. Don't forget to use a stripper to remove any old sealer. Make sure the stripper is acceptable for the type of flooring you are sealing. Stone can be very delicate and damage easily. Vinegar can etch marble, granite, and travertine. One last note, you get what you pay for with sealer. Invest in a good sealer and you will get much better, much longer results.
