Default Tiling questions

Hi

I have a really big job coming up in which i am having to tile approx
30sqm of wall.

I have some questions mind you!!!!

When tiling around a socket how do you get the pro look?? Do you
unscrew the socket, tile behind it then rescrew it?? or do you cut
around the socket and grout around it??

Also which do you prefer.

1. Making the seal beneath worktop and tile using two strips of masking
tape, smoothing with your finger and then removing the tape when the
sealant has gone tacky

2. sealing between the worktop and tile and just smoothing with your
finger??

3. When tiling onto boxing, do you treat the wood first to aid
adhesive?? Boxing is 6mm marine ply.
