If your old ceramic tile isn't cracking, loose or otherwise breaking apart then yes you can lay new tile over old. I wouldn't sand it with sand paper because I don't believe that sand paper will do enough scarcifying to the tile. get a right angle grinder, put a diamond blade used for tile on it and run it across the top of the tile. you don't need to take the whole surface off just have a few tracks running across each tile. Then you will need a more high performance thinset. whenever I have done this in for a client I use Laticrete 254 platinum or you can use a bonding agent. This is a roll on liquid that bonds to the existing tile and is a good substrate for the thinset you'll be using. You might have to go to a store that specializes in Tile to get these items. just as the sales rep there and they will point you in the right direction. hope this helps, good luck!
