That will do the job fine.

Whatever you can find will do the job fine.

Nope, you'll damage the red surface doing it that way.
If the tiles are highly glazed, paint stripper should work, but you'll have to
regrout the tiles because the grout will have soaked up the black paint.

Even a wire brush will damage the red surface, but is what
you should use for that if you want to do it that way anyway.
