Sometime this is unavoidable. But, in the picture you have there perhaps some biege Silicon for the cut marks instead of grout would of looked a bit better.

Yes, if you want it doing correctly.
If that's not possible I normally drill a hole where the rad stalk comes out of the floor, and then from the wall side of the tile I would do 2 cuts on the wet cutter in a V shape towards the hole. Then I would fix the tile in place and then slide the V shape cut out towards the pipe which closes the gap left by the cut of the wet cutter. Possibly fill any little nicks with same colour silicon.

Sorting out a shower cubicle at the mo, it's been leaking. It's a catalogue of errors but my favourite part is the tray. The opening is 90x80cm and the tray that had been used was 70x70, the area around the edge had a little shelf on it, not a problem I hear you say, well here's what I found when I started taking it apart
Two courses of bricks, not stuck by the way just placed in around the edge, covered with about an inch of skim, then the tiled shelf on top! Some how this lasted 10 years before it leaked, mind you, there were several tiles siliconed to the wall, I'd guess that a dozen tubes of Silicon had been used.

Massive hole Ali, I built a new frame out of 4x2 to put the new one on, screwed the frame straight to the joists.

Its becoming a regular monthly discovery. Builders, plasterers and plumbers who say they do the whole job but...well, you know the rest.
Today's gem is an 800 quad held in place by 1 screw only, no Silicon in the base of the wall plates and about 2 tubes worth under the front bar. Oh, and a lovely surprise water feature in the dining room when they used it for the first time. They only moved in on saturday.
