    It would be better to take the vinyl up first so there is no reaction between vinyl and product being used and then put down an underlayment.If it is a vinyl that is glued down may be a little extra work, but, there are vinyl that loose laid that may not be fully glued down which would make it easier.

    I would think you'd need to rough up the vinyl or it would eventually peel and come off the floor, at least in higher traffic areas. You can always do a test patch. Sand it and do the technique and see how to stands up.
