Can you tile over tile?

Suggested Project Book
Yes, you can as long as the surface is solid and level. Here's a link with more information on how to do it:

You can but it will make your floor rather heavy, not to mention the additional height. I would consider removing before putting new tile down.
You can - but it won’t last as well. If you’re going to go to all the effort to do new tiles it’s worth it to take out the old ones.
Yes, you can, it requires some preparation:

Yes you can but its only recommended if if the previous tile is in very good condition. After that a concrete floor leveling compound over the old tile will give you a good flat surface to put your new tile on.
It is not recommended to tile over tile. Home depot sells a shovel like tool that makes it easy to remove tiles.
Here is info for this project but you could always paint the old tile instead of tiling over it.

It is not recommended. The current tile is likely to have a few raised spots here and there. Also, please think about the extra height and how it will affect the baseboards.
It would get very heavy on the wall.

Good luck
What tiles ?
Depends. Vinyl or ceramic? You'll always get a better outcome if you remove the old floor. I would never add a layer to ceramic no matter what! Stay safe!
