    A picture would be helpful also.

    Remove grout where tile meets wallpaper and replace with caulking. Most grout's have a caulking the same color.

    The grout is not uniform. Some places it is thick, some places thin and crumbling off. So yes, would caulk be sufficient? Must all grout be removed or can the caulk go over the grout?
