Its concrete, when I say old grout I actually mean the mortar, you can see the old strokes from the trowel, the ribs are about 1/8 inch high. I'd settle for paint if it was durable and isn't expensive. This is a first year haunted house and trying to spend little as possible on things like this.

Easiest way to fill in and prep the floor for additional flooring is using a self leveling compound. You need to prime the current mortar with self leveling primer and then skim it with the compound to fill in all the trowel marks. Key here is that self leveling compound IS NOT rated as a finished floor. You must cover it with either tile again, or some other type of flooring.
