Once they are stuck down with this stuff nothing short of a cannon ball is going to remove it. Not even a hurricane.

“Hopefully the seller doesn’t decide to take them with them once they move.”
If you still have negotiation ability as a result of the inspections/needed repairs, get the seller to agree to leave those tiles...in writing. Sounds like you’re already going to demand a cash concession...make the spare tiles part of that. Get it in writing and do a walk-thru on the way to closing to make sure they are still there.
Fascinating. Is that a spray on underlayment too or just the tile adhesive?
A few tiles are lunch money for you and the missus. If they take those, they’re pikers.
Better fix that quick, especially if your name is Judah Ben Hur.

As I said before, "I'm not in the family business..." The main reason is that I had to be pried off the ladder at 3 stories.
I would as a roofer.
I would ask a roofer.
Does it actually work?
Actually it does I bought some clear spray as a last ditch effort to seal a leaking sunlight and it did the trick.
That's all clay tile at the roof

Very nice though. You are connected to this work? You sound like an architect or engineer or something along those lines. I know what roofers sound like ;).
Maybe some jihadis from the local cell would like a chance to earn a few dollars?
I wear a lot of hats (helps me to stay employed), but I was working for a GC those years, built that one from the ground up.
Very nice. The commercial work in our tribe was done by uncles and cousins. But as we were mainly in the ‘burbs, high rises just weren’t part of the daily fare. And I’m glad about it.
This is likely not an expensive fix or the inspector would be all over it. As a former mortgage underwriter of many years I would just have your realtor get a sales concession for the estimated amount of the repairs. Or ask the seller to repair prior to closing. You usually have 2 weeks to go back on the seller asking for repairs after a home inspection. Its probably only several hundred dollars to fix. If they don’t want to fool with it they will probably grant a sales concession.

In California, the seller would pay to have identified problem areas fixed as a condition of the sale. Why did you get an inspection if not to force the seller to pay for fixes?
I’m slightly troubled by the inspection company’s note on the infrared photo. Thermal imaging will not reveal moisture problems. It will reveal areas of heat loss (insulation problems, thermal bridging by studs, air leaks). I’m not sure why they would take an attic IR picture INSIDE the attic or why they would take a pic of an un insulated part of the structure. Maybe I’m missing something here, but doesn’t seem right and could suggest they aren’t as proficient in some areas as they should be.
No. If you have some spares in your cellar or garage shouldn’t be a problem. Are you handy and able to do the work? If not but you do have the material a local contractor could do the work in an hour or two. That is from what I’m seeing. Overall it doesn’t look too bad at all. Just don’t let it sit though, any moisture getting into the open spaces can cause problems.
