I want to regrout between my bathroom tiles with gray grout. I want to mix the grout with silver sparkles from michaels or wherever I can find them. Will I need to seal this

do the grouting, then sprinkle the glitter on top. Yes, you would always seal grout. they now make glitter grout that would work much better. check it out: http://www.groutglitter.com/

I would think so, or you'll have sparkles all over the place. Call the craft store, and ask what you need, or call Homedepot, and ask for the paint department, the'll help you.
Putting craft glitter into the grout is not recommended. Grout is tricky enough to work with to get it to adhere properly, and to set firmly. By adding a foreign element to the grouting, you are inviting problems. As soon as it starts coming off, it will get into everything, and be frustrating to try to keep controlled.
Perhaps you are confusing the sparkle look with the flecks that are sometimes seen in epoxy finish on garage floors? This is not craft glitter.
If you want bling, then add sparkle light fixtures, or blingy accessories.
Home Depot has grout with glitter in it already!
