Can you glue tile on top of tile?
Sure can, but if its waxed tile you should rough it up unless there's a chance its got asbestos in it. Then use a primer sealer over that top to give the glue something to bind to. Also remember that the new tile is only as good as the old tile that's down. If the old stuff comes loose your new tile job is shot.

Glue can be used on fleece. A straight pins are needed to put the two pieces of fleece or material together. Carefully remove one pin and pull apart the two material pieces and place a small dot of fabric glue. Replace the pin or secure with a binder clip. Repeat this process for each pin that was originally used. The glue must have time to soak into the fabric and bond the pieces together. It is best to let it sit for twenty-four hours. After this time remove a pin or binder one at a time and gently tug on the two pieces. If they pull apart repeat the above process.
Many of the modern glues will glue plastics to wood. ( Don't try with school glue or white glue, they will appear to stick, but will come off the plastic quite easily when fully cured. ) The kind of glues that WILL do this well are any epoxy or a silicone based glue like 'Goop' or 'Seal All'. They will stick well to plastics and quite well to wood and will harden in about an hour.

However, it also softens with heat. Wearing gloves, dip a dish cloth into almost boiling water, ring it out so that it is damp (and still hot) and sponge down the phone surface until the glue comes off.
DO NOT scald yourself (use thick rubber cloves) and DO NOT soak the phone.

Can elmers glue be used the same as mod podge for gluing puzzles?
No it is not the same thing, here are some excerpts to help explain:
Decoupage is done by adding a coat of Mod Podge with a foam brush to the item that is to be covered. You then add your papers in any direction, shape or form that you like. After that portion is dried, you add another coat of the Mod Podge on top of the papers to seal it. This is especially helpful if you know it will be handled frequently. It applies a protective layer and keeps the ends from peeling up. Mod Podge is a definite must-have in the altered-art world.
PVA (polyvinyl acetate) is another product that has been around for quite a while, but doesn't quite have the recognition it deserves. This glue looks the same as Mod Podge, but acts a little differently. PVA isn't usually used as a sealer because it doesn't dry quite as thick. It does, however, adhere paper to just about any surface. When used in conjunction with a brayer (mini rubber rolling pin) it will apply your papers smoothly without air bubbles. I can't do an altered project without this product being used somewhere. It doesn't have a very strong odor, so it can be used indoors with ease. If you prefer the "sticking power" of PVA, but also want the sealer, you can use the PVA on bottom and the Mod Podge on top--a killer combination in my opinion. Both are water based for easy cleanup.
Elmer's Glue-All, commonly called Elmer's Glue, is a glue based on an emulsion of polyvinyl acetate, useful for porous materials such as wood, cardboard, paper, and cloth. It hardens through evaporation of water. While Elmer's white glue used to have a different formulation based on a milk protein (casein), that is no longer true.[1] The product is now derived solely from petrochemical feedstock.

Why does PVA glue not dry on walls so that I can plaster?
People do not generally put PVA glue onto walls. We can't ask questions , so you must figure out why you did that, and how you are going to get around the problem it's now causing.
Fugitive glue is commonly referred to as temporary hold, peel-able "Credit Card Glue" or "Booger" glue. This easy to use adhesive gives an instant peelable bond between most substances. Fugitive glue is used when the bond is intended to be temporary so that the piece can be easily reopened by the recipient. Self-mailers are one example of fugitive glue usage, which eliminates tabbing and inserting operations. Fugitive glue is not resealable after the piece is opened.
