The best way to repair particle board sub-flooring is to cut out the bad spot and replace with new board. You can only use vinyl and self stick tile over particle board. Ceramic tile cannot because the moisture in the thin-sets will break down the particle board.
Yes, it must be a glue down wood or a floating wood floor.
Absolutely, but you have to be aware that it will raise your floor level and you might have a problem with door jambs and levels of flooring from one from room to another.
Not directly. Wood moves with changes in temperature and humidity, which would cause tile to come unstuck rather fast. You'd need to put in a layer of inert material first, like sheetrock, fibreboard, mdf or similar.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. You will regret it later. Tile needs a cement base to adhere to. A wooden base is not good for ceramic tiles. I have seen tile floors where people have tiled over the wood. The tiles are loose, cracked and unlevel. The grout is coming out and water seeps through the floor.
Yes on wood, no on smooth solid concrete
You can try using a mixture of vinegar and water or a commercial ceramic tile cleaner to remove the stain on the ceramic tile floor. Apply the cleaner, let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub the area with a brush or sponge. Rinse the area thoroughly with clean water and dry it with a towel. If the stain persists, you may need to try a stronger stain remover specifically designed for ceramic tile.
Ceramic tiles are normally laid on a cement base. If the floor has any flexibility at all, the tiles will wind up cracking. But if you do have to install tiles on top of wood, then yes, the wood has to be sealed because the grout is mixed with water, which can damage unsealed wood.

Ceramic tile on the sauna floor will not significantly affect the temperature in the sauna. However, it may feel cooler to the touch compared to other materials like wood or stone. The temperature in the sauna is primarily controlled by the sauna heater and the ventilation system.
For example a metallic foil, a ceramic tile, a piece of wood, etc.
If you are installing a floating laminate floor, you can easily put it right over the tile.
You would be wise to put fibrous cement sheeting on the walls first to give you a more reliable and uniform surface for fastening the tiles. tiles directly on to wood is risky to say the least.
You can put the newer style floating wood floors onto a floor with tile. Also, if it is old VCT tile, there are glues that will allow you to use their product to glue the wood to the floor. Unfortunately, nail down wood is not acceptable.
