How can I attach a safe safety grab bar to tile without drilling or screws

Technically you don't, and you should follow ADA requirements. But there are products popping up that you can purchase that do not require drilling and screws.

You can buy safety grab bars that attach with very strong suction cups. They work very well and no need to drill holes.
Home Depot carries one. Here's the link:

Tiles are too weak to hold a bar. It will peel them off.
They have ones that use like a suction cup. We got ours at Home Depot and it works really well for my husband to get in and out of the tub to use the shower.
Some grab bars are made with suction cups.
