Can a regular pentagon be used to tile a floor?
No, not if your floor is flat. Regular pentagons do not tile the plane. You will always end up with empty space. You would need to use some other shapes too (or irregular pentagons) http://www2.spsu.edu/math/tile/defs/pentagon.htm

Yes, as long as the tile is only 1 layer, the floor is sound structurally, and you use a very high quality latex fortified thinset. If the old tile is cracking, those cracks will only transfer to the new.
