Hardwood, yes.
Laminate , yes.
Tile, I wouldn't. you can put tile over it if you put backer board over it, or if you have 3/4 inch subfloor underneath and the vinyl is glued well you can use a superflex motor from lowes. but the backerboard is the best choice
This will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the general answer is yes if the flooring has no give and the height will not pose and issue at doorways.
This is not true for vinyl or linoleum. You can only go 2 layers thick there.
Yes but the finish is pretty poor. The laminate will need to expand and contract. This happens at a significantly different rate to vinyl. - Its always better to get the laminate up and ply or use self leveler and lay the vinyl as new.
If its new VCT probably, but it must be down tight & smooth and you will need to strip the old wax & rinse good so there is no stripper residue. It eats adhesive over time.
