You certainly did a lovely neat job on the insulation. The balustrades & rail looks good too.
About the handle height, 990 is recommended in the building reg's. It can be a pain in the arse when there's a situation like a new extension, and the doors in other parts of the house aren't at that height. I personally think it doesn't matter much, in the case of your door it looks better in the centre of the rail. I however, usually get my butt whipped by the building inspectors if I try to match existing, no matter how crap it looks to keep to reg's.
The ceiling joists shouldn't matter much as they aren't structural, but you might get some overly strict inspector who has an issue - stick to using joist hangers, it only takes a bit longer to hammer in those extra nails. I've seen someone have to rip a ceiling out before as the inspector took up the floor & checked out the hangers from above!

I think the marmox is watertight like you said, but I tanked out around the shower anyway just to be sure.
