They will stick very well if you clean the ceramic well (no grease/wax).
The lines will probably be OK, but if you are worried, why not just float over some more grout to get a level joint.
mmm would "thin bits" of new grout "stick" well enough to old? thinking how clean the old grout would have to be got first? anything else - car body filler?
er? ;>)

But new "proper" grout (mixed from a powder) seems very stable.
You could always prime the old joints with a drop of SBR or possibly PVA first.
Do people still use vinyl tiles? Hmm, well, good luck. All the corners started to come up after about five years, but maybe the glue is better nowadays. Brian
what the lady wants.... the lady can put up with ;>)

The slightest bit of grit (say 1.5mm diameter) will telegraph through vinyl tiles so the grout lines definitely will.
yup - vital to fill the grout lines level
