Yes - but you are always best off removing a large portion of the old grout before re-grouting. After letting the new grout dry for 48 hours, consider using a grout sealer to make it last longer.

Will using both sanded and unsanded grout on your back splash look okay if you have both 1-16 in and 1-2 in gaps to grout?

You should use the grout that will work best for the biggest grout space that you need. So for a grout width like you described, 1/16 to 1/2, you should use sanded grout. Unsanded grout will look terrible in a 1/2" grout joint, but sanded grout will look great in both. Use sanded.

What would cause new grout in swimming pool to rub off easly?

Grout was not properly mixed. It most likely mixed with to much water. Your water could be aggressive with a low pH attacking the grout and plaster. Test and adjust. If your pH is below 6.8 and has stabilized there your pool plaster should start to look copper color, aqua color, have black stains which look like graying spots. But once the damage is done you can't undo it.

How do you re grout tile floor?

It is somewhat painstaking. There is a grout removal tool available at most big box hardware stores. It is basically a handsaw that uses hardened aggregate applied to the blade instead of teeth. You have to shave each joint down to a level below the surface that a new grout can be applied to and adhere (about 1/8" for non-sanded grout and 1/4" for sanded grout). If you are changing grout colors, you will want to use an acid (muriatic acid) to wash down the joint edges to remove any small amounts of the old grout at the surface edge that remain, prior to new grout installation. Because you are not installing the new grout to the full tile depth, it is advisable to use a latex additive to prevent cracking.
