A floating floor is not a type of floor at all. It is a method for installing new hardwood flooring. While the hardwood pieces (known as planks) are attached to each other in ways such as gluing or notching together, they do not need to be attached to the sub-flooring underneath. If it is not attached, it is called a "floating floor."

It is a floor that is not nailed or fastened anywhere. It does not touch the walls or base or anything, usually the requirement is .5 inch. So essentially it "floats".
The floors themselves install in a very similar fashion. If you want a floor with a lot of shine, you will want to go with hardwood. If cost is an issue, laminate.
No, ceramic tile needs a firm subfloor, without movement, and one not prone to moisture. Laminate is none of those.
the laminate is laid upon a expanded polythene mat like fine bubble wrap. The laminate is not fitted completely into the floor space. A 5-10mm gap to allow for expansion is required and an edging strip fixed only to the skirting board covers this gap
