Not sure what you mean about this. Are you talking about latex additive?

Re: Which grout?
The fastflex has it's own mix that you will have used, you didn't add anything extra did you?
If you use superflex wide joint it will be fine, you DO NOT add extra latex with this product. if you use BAL wide joint, you can mix with GT1 which is gives a more flexible grout than Superflex on it's own.
Hard to tell with the tiles whether they need sealing or not. If they are polished I would say yes, but if normal solid body then probably no. Best thing to do is test a spare tile or piece of, and see if it stains. If so then seal your floor. I would seal before grouting if that is the case.
