If a bucket adhesive was used and the adhesive wasn’t dry , the moisture could leech out through the joints creating a patchy effect. If not , then it could be over washed creating lighter patching. Etc.

Should a sealant be used on grout and do you need special equipment to remove old grout?

No grout needs to be removed or sealed with fuga fresca.
