It's not a case of the rug being warmer. It's that the tile is very dense, and that conducts away the heat of your feet rapidly - "the floor is cold". The rug traps a lot of air in it's fiber, and the air insulates your foot from the floor.
Tile has higher thermal conductivity than wood, which allows it to draw heat away from the body faster, creating a sensation of coolness. Wood has lower thermal conductivity and may insulate the feet from the floor temperature, leading to a perception of warmth.
Tile is smooth getting a large contact area.A rug contains lots of air pockets, acting as thermal insulators.This allows cool tile to conduct heat away much faster than a cool rug.If they were both warmer than body temperature the tile would feel warmer for the same reason.
Carpeted floors feel warmer to bare feet than tile or wood because carpets have more insulation properties, which reduce heat loss and make them feel softer and more comfortable to walk on. The fibers in the carpet trap air pockets that act as a barrier to heat transfer, creating the sensation of warmth.
Tile floors feel colder than carpet because they have lower insulating properties, allowing heat to escape more easily. Carpet, on the other hand, has better insulating properties and traps heat, making it feel warmer to the touch.
Vinyl is a better conductor of heat than a rug, so it conducts heat away from your body faster, making it feel colder to the touch. Rugs have more insulation properties that help retain heat, which is why they feel warmer.
This is because heat capacity different materials warm up at different rates.

It's no different on drywall than it is on any other surface. You spread the cement the same way, you apply the tile the same way.
Generic tile cleaners are the same thing as the brand name tile cleaners , and they are more cost efficient.
You calculate the sqft of the room, a sqft is still a sqft no matter what the tile dimensions are
width times length 10 x 12 room needs 120 tile.

One 18 ft x 24 ft tile will be more than enough. Since the measurement units used for the tile are not specified, I have assumed that they are the same as the only units that are mentioned in the question.
Whatever the lxw of a single tile is ,divide that into the lxw of the room.
The standard tile measure used for determining the dimensions of a room is square feet.
I typically pick the longest wall or the straightest line in the room that has the most exposure and start there with full tiles. Another method would be to find the center point of the room and lay your first tile there. Then when you get to the walls all opposite walls will have the same cut size.
