Default Redoing bathtub tile

I just posted a response under my old "bifold door" thread, but
thought it might be a good idea to cross-post under a better subject
line. I'm getting ready to redo/repair some tile around my bathtub.
The tub caulk needs to be redone, some of the tiles are loose, and
some of the grout is very discolored. I kinda know what I'm doing
with tile, and what the heck, I'll never get better if I don't try.
I'm thinking I'll use my Dremel with a grout saw attachment to get the
old grout out, but thought I'd ask if there's some other way you'd
recommend. Any other suggestions? Also (get ready for stupid
question), when I take out the old grout, will the tiles that aren't
loose stay attached to the wall? Or should I be prepared to redo them
as well as the already loose ones?
