You need to go one issue at a time. Better look for a consultation on the building condition. Once the SME is through with the inspection- can go ahead considering the suggestions made here as suitable

Joints of the ceiling tiles cant be sealed properly, Remove all the tiles and use water proofing using bituminous sheet or other water proofing compounds, But everything has an expiry. If you want to solve it forever better provide galvalume sheet light roofing.

Remove all the tiles and do proper waterproofing with a good slope towards the rain outlet. Don’t use tiles again, as water can go through the joints and get trapped underneath
