To remove tar sealant from vinyl siding, start by scraping off as much of the tar as possible using a plastic putty knife to avoid damaging the siding. Next, apply a solvent like mineral spirits or rubbing alcohol to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area to dissolve the remaining tar. Rinse the area thoroughly with water afterward to remove any residue. Always test the solvent on an inconspicuous spot first to ensure it doesn't damage the vinyl.

Yes, naphtha can be effective in removing certain types of stains from siding, particularly those caused by grease, oil, or tar. However, it's important to use it cautiously, as naphtha is a strong solvent that can damage some siding materials or remove paint. Always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first and follow safety precautions, such as using gloves and ensuring proper ventilation. If unsure, consider using a specialized siding cleaner instead.

Tar can be separated from water with some products that are known to remove it. You cannot completely remove the residual tar chemicals from water without advanced filtration.
It is not stated in the question. But, assuming the caulking (tar and untwisted rope) has been used to seal ship or boat planking. Heat the old caulking and remove while hot with a flat hook or knife. If I've read the question wrong, then more information is required.
I wouldn't do it. Tar paper between subfloor and finish floor is a good technique, but gluing tiles directly to a tar paper surface is not a good idea.
