I'd have thought you might have a problem with the heat and the adhesive; ie, you might find the tiles coming away from the floor as the adhesive heats up....unless they have a product that works round this problem that is.

I would experiment: Place a few squares of vinyl tile in one area and a few pieces of ceramic or porcelain tile in another and check the heat transfer. The last thing you want to do is insulate your floors.

I would take advantage of the heat and use tile's. Your vinyl will act like an insulator. There are special glues for that applicaton however and you should be able to use them.

Yes the concrete doesn't get hot enough to damage the adhesive. You'll be absolutely fine.

No, they will not stick. Don't try this because it will be a huge mess. They would only work if the heat was never turned on.
