Hi Moira,
It would be best to let the t&g dry out first, but I know that's near impossible at the moment. I would also consider a sheet of dpc under the felt for extra-future protection. Similalry, consider shingles over standard roof felt for smarter look.
All the best

You can lay felt on any base as long as its dry and you use a primer base and it's usually a good idea to use torch on so the bitumen creates a good seal.

The roof needs to dry and a breathable membrane installed if not mould will be prevalent.
