Recently a light (aluminum?) threshold at a door in my house became unfastened. I tried glueing it with Scotch repair glue but that only lasted a couple of days. It was stuck fast for 20 or so years since the time I bought this house, and possibly 20 before that too. So I know there is stuff out there. What would anyone recommend? It is to be glued to a bit of tile.
Best glue for threshold at doorstep?

Not familiar with the Gorilla most likely the same.
But we used this stuff a lot with alarm systems and sensors. 3M/Scotch
Put on correctly, which means clean surface that we would clean with rubbing alcohol, it can be almost (I stress almost) impossible to remove.

3M 5200 Fast Cure has become my go-to for exterior or weather facing household projects that I am sure I will NOT have to remove.
That's not the best way to finish the entryway. What you should do, especially if you have some leftover matching tile, is to tile the face of that step-up. If you don't have any leftover tile, I'm sure you can find something similar, or some that compliments the entry.
I have a piece of 2x4 on the floor of the garage to act as a stop for the car. Liquid nails has held it there for more years than I can recall.
Something that allows some flex. Not silicone.

What residues exist on it or the tile? That would be a clue. Hard? Flexible?
I’d clean everything really well, and then use some construction adhesive that says it’s good for tile and metal.

That looks really dirty.
First make sure it is hospital clean and there is zero residue of any variety then clean the bonding surfaces again and rough them up.
I would then choose an adhesive compatible with both materials.

I did one of those and there was a slight height difference. I didn't get anything special, but used clear DAP sealant and it's been holding pretty well.
My dad is very stubborn that he can get things to work, and he originally tried using Elmer's Glue.

PL 400 and PL Premium for the win.
Mount it sloping towards the outside. Very carefully look to make sure that that NO water can run where it shouldn't to prevent rot.
