Answer 1

mapei ultra flex II (Lowes) best product on the market

Answer 2

Brand name and/or where purchased is less an issue than substance. I tile every day of my life and for exterior applications I use mortars designed for exterior applications, such as those of a Poly, or Epoxy blend.

Home Depot carries a brand of mortar called Flexbond.  If has some give to aloow for expansion and contraction.  I put a 3' x 5' ceramic inlay in my deck for my grills, and it worked very well.  If you are not placing the tile on concrete, you will want to use cement backer board under it.  On my deck, 1/2' pressure treated plywood, 1/4" cement board, and the ceramic tile came out pretty flush with the 5/4" cedar deck boards.  You will also want to use an acrylic additive in the grout instead of water.  This is also available at Home Depot or a good flooring store.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.
