How should one prepare a floor before putting down new vinyl flooring?
It depends on the type of floor that you are putting down the vinyl flooring on top of. If it is concrete, then make sure it is clean, dry and repair any cracks or holes. If the old vinyl flooring is in good repair then just put the new vinyl flooring over it or use an embossing leveler for slightly worn vinyl flooring. If the old vinyl flooring is in very poor shape remove it completely. Plywood underlayment can be used for other types of flooring that you will put new vinyl flooring down on top of.

Can vinyl cushion flooring be laid over glued down vinyl flooring?
Yes - but a qualified yes. If you are talking about the 12" square vinyl floor tiles that are still securely fastened then you can go right over them. If they old tiles are lifting or loose then the answer would be no. If only one or two tiles are loose then you can remove those ones - and with a patching / floor leveling compound fill in the voids so that the entire floor is smooth and level. If you can not find a patching compound try using a modified latex thinset (for tiles). It sticks to most things and is relatively cheap and will last longer than the sheet vinyl floor. If many of the tiles are loose - remove them all. The old adhesive is starting to fail and will cause problems after you install the new floor. There are several ways to fasten sheet vinyl flooring the most common being glued down. Check the manufacturer's instructions on what the acceptable substrates are. I would highly recommend first washing (to degrease) then scuff sanding the old tiles to promote adhesion.
