Sealing the tile and grout is only appropriate with certain tiles and grouts. Talk to a professional.
Glazed tiles are not to be sealed. Use non-sanded grout and no need to,seal.
Some natural stoned and sanded grouts would require sealing.
It is best to caulk at all edges and in all corners (although many do not but it will likely crack over time.
What yep tile do,you have? Grout?

I used ceramic tile with somewhat of a glossy finish. The grout I bought to match the tile is sanded grout.

The sand or no sand grout typically depends on the diameter of the grout lines.. Bigger than 1/8 inch they say go sanded. I just finished this exact project. I went grout to marble, then silicone on the outer edges.. I sealed on a natural stone. Patience on all the phases was key. Let everything dry completely between applications. Good luck.
