Replace hardwood with Exterior Glue Plywood with the minimum thinkness of 3/8's of an inch. Fasten according to APA guidelines, and then from this point on you can use either an uncoupling membrane or install the tile directly to the plywood. The cost of uncoupling the membrane will be money well spent, as you will find.
Using grout sealer will not make the subfloor or the ceramic waterproof, the only purpose of the grout filler is to reduce the effects of staining.
