If your old ceramic tile isn't cracking, loose or otherwise breaking apart then yes you can lay new tile over old. I wouldn't sand it with sand paper because I don't believe that sand paper will do enough scarcifying to the tile. get a right angle grinder, put a diamond blade used for tile on it and run it across the top of the tile. you don't need to take the whole surface off just have a few tracks running across each tile. Then you will need a more high performance thinset. whenever I have done this in for a client I use Laticrete 254 platinum or you can use a bonding agent. This is a roll on liquid that bonds to the existing tile and is a good substrate for the thinset you'll be using. You might have to go to a store that specializes in Tile to get these items. just as the sales rep there and they will point you in the right direction. hope this helps, good luck!
Can you install vinyl plank floor over laminate?
No it is not recommended to do so. You can have future problems if the wood ever builds up enough moisture underneath, which will cause it to expand and bubble up. Best thing to do is do it over a concrete surface, especially if it is glue. You can watch this video tutorial that gives pretty thorough instructions on how to install it.

Why do you need to sand a hardwood floor first before applying stain and varnish?
Wood stain MUST penetrate the grain of the wood or it doesn't color. clear coats like Varnish or Urethaneare designed to seal over the stain "color" & keep the wood from being "stained" by all the dirt & spills it endures over time.
If you don't sand the old finish off evenly it will keep the new stain from penetrating and it will also allow the stain to penetrate in areas where the old varnish was worn or damaged but not in others making the new stain blotchy & uneven.
A good quality urethane is far better and easier to apply than Varnish.
