Sheetrock is either nailed or screwed to your studs. It overlaps the studs by 1/2 the width of the stud on the ends, so you can butt the next sheet up to it and nail/screw to the stud.
For bathrooms, it would be better to use green board, it is designed to resist moisture. If you are putting this up around a shower or tub, you can also consider using a cement backer board.
You should follow your tile manufacturer's recommendations for preparation needed for tile application. Generally, you just need the flat surface, apply the adhesive, place the tiles, allow to dry, then grout the tiles in.

You have to remove the tile. Then, you'll have to remove the sheetrock behind it, which will be messed up in the process of removing the tile. Finally, mount the new sheetrock on the studs. Since it's a bathroom, you have to use the special sheetrock for that, which is more expensive but won't be ruined by the moisture.

For the bathroom you need green board, not just plain sheet rock.
