How to re-attach tiles and fill in grout gaps

I have two related questions regarding tile and grout.

In-ground 13,000 gallon gunite chlorine pool.
Location: McKinney, Texas
Pool Age: 18 years

Q1: I've had one small section of 4 tile pieces that have fallen off. What would be the best product to re-attach the tiles? Since it's just four small pieces, I don't need a large quantity of anything. Just needing something that effectively holds tiles to gunite.

Q2: I've noticed in a few spots that the grout has eroded away. Most specifically at the three waterline fountains and at the grate. So, what product can I use to fill in these gaps. Not sure why it's eroded in these areas, but I assume these are vulnerable connection points and we've had some brutal winters and summers so maybe there's been some shifting.

I'm guessing I'll have to drain the pool a few inches to do these repairs?

Thanks.
