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.

When installing laminate flooring does the lighting in the room from the windows make a difference in which direction you lay the floor?
Laminate doesn't have to lay counter to the floor joists like traditional tongue and groove wood flooring.

Also in narrow rooms you might want to consider that the grain should run the length of the room to help make it look larger.
