Brick is sometimes porous and the house looks to be pretty low to the
ground. I also note lots of leaves. Does the eavestrough fill up with
leaves and does the rainwater then pour over onto the ground? That might
be enough to have caused your rotted sill.
Hard to tell without actually being there but the tile job by the entry
door does not look too bad. You might be able to do something similar.
Doubtful that you can get the tiles off of the laundry room floor
intact. Unless they did a poor job of sticking them down. If they are
just on the OSB underlay and not well stuck in the quickset then it
might be done but it would be a mess. You would probably have to put
down new underlay in the laundry room too and unless you want uneven
floors between rooms, then you would likely have to remove the old floor
and replace down to the joists. More expense which probably would not be
worthwhile.

The exterior is full brick. I do not see any evidence of water staining the
Sheetrock. There are several tiles in the laundry room that are cracked. I
wonder what the chances are or being able to remove that tile without breaking
them. I could then use the tile from the laundry room to replace tiles in the
kitchen area. Then put something else in the laundry room. To open up the floor
in the kitchen area I would probably have to take up 2-3 rows of tile.
I just went by the house and took some pics for reference. First photo is the
area in question outside the house followed by same area inside the house. I
also took a long shot showing how it blends into the formal dining, then a shot
of how we did the tile on the adjoining entry area
