How long should it take to tile a small bathroom that is 3 by 3 metres with very large tiles?
Depending on the tilesetter, but typically a couple days. The floor needs to be prepared and if there was any patching it may need to dry. The tilesetter may want to come back the next day. Then the tile needs to be set and if the tilesetter has good tools that should only take an hour or two. Then the mortar needs to set before the tilesetter can do the grout. Grouting should take most of a day since the grout needs to cure while it is being cleaned. You should not walk on the tile while the grout is setting up and sealing the grout should wait for a few days. The time involved isn't so much a funciton of the size of the tile job, but more a function of the mortar and grout setting times.

It depends on the type of tile you have.

Follow the manufacturers recommendation for the tile that you have.

What is the difference between sanded and non-sanded grout?
The obvious answer is sanded grout has sand. But the in depth answer has many differences. Sanded grout which is the most common, can be used in a grout joint from 1/8" to 1/2" (and larger but check the grout). Sanded grout scratches many tile like glass. Non sanded grout can only be used on joints 1/8" or less. Non sanded grout is typically seen on marble and granite tile, many wall tile, and all glass tile.
