You need a level surface so you would want the joints to be done & dry. HOWEVER
you really shouldn't put tile over drywall. Cement board, HardiBacker or green board, but never drywall.

If tiling a wall in the bathroom it is rectangle and measures 168 square feet how many tiles do you need?
The amount of tiles that will be needed will depend on the size of the tile. Example: if you are using a 12" x 12" tile and you have 168 SF to cover than you will need 168 tiles. If you are using 24" x 24" tile than you would need 84 tiles to cover 168 SF. Always remember to allow about 3% to 5% for waste or attic stock...... if the tile gets damaged before installation or if after the installation a tile need to be repaired you will have the additional tile to complete it....FYI tile is die lot sensitive. The same tile you buy today could look different if it is not made from the same run

Do you seal tile before you grout?
It depends on the type of tile you have. If the tile is unglazed and porous (as mostly all travertine is) then you will need to seal the tile before you grout it so that the grout does not soak into the tile and cause it to become dull. Follow the manufacturers recommendation for the tile that you have.

What type of underlayment do you need when installing tile floor?
Before installing tile flooring, you need a clean FLAT surface. Tile is not a flexible material so the flat surface ensures the tile will match up correctly.
