The best adhesive to use for installing porcelain tile is a modified thin-set mortar.

It depends on whether the tile is glazed or unglazed and what you are trying to clean off. If you are trying to clean a liquid that had seeped into the tile you may be out of luck. It may be permanently stained. If you are trying to do routine maintenance you can use a mop and warm water with a mild tile cleaner.
Porcelain is usually sealed already. You then add sealer to the grout.
Thinset tile cement.
To effectively cut porcelain tile by hand, you can use a tile cutter or a tile nipper. Score the tile with a tile cutter, then snap it along the scored line. For curved cuts, use a tile nipper to gradually chip away small pieces until the desired shape is achieved. Remember to wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself while cutting porcelain tile by hand.
If you are talking about ceramic or porcelain tiles then yes. Granite tile and counters can also be cleaned using acetone. For softer stones like marble and travertine I would recommend using petrochemicals.
White thinset
To effectively repair a porcelain tile chip, you can use a porcelain repair kit that includes epoxy or filler specifically designed for porcelain. Clean the area, apply the filler, and let it dry before sanding and polishing the repaired spot to match the rest of the tile.
