I have tiled to the ceiling in my shower room because this will stop the wall getting damp. I suppose the real answer to your question is tile as high as you wish. Consider how well your bathroom is ventilated.
Generally, in the 4'-5' from floor range.
Just under outlets and switches and just above vanity so any border is at top of vanity backsplash or more than half of a field tile so it is not an eyesore.
To tile a bathroom, you must first find the center of the floor or wall. This is where you will lay your first tile. You work out from there. This way you have the cuts where they are less noticeable. Use a trowel to place tile glue on the tiles, put them in place. Use spacers to keep them apart at an equal distance. Use a tile cutter to cut tiles in areas where a whole tile is not needed. Once you are done, remove the spacers and use a trowel to grout between the tiles. Wipe away excess grout with a wet sponge.
It is best to remove the wall tiles. You need a flat service and a lot of times old tile will not be perfectly flat. If you remove the tiles you will have a good base to tile on. If you don't want to remove the tiles you may be able to add a backer board on top of the old tile and then tile on that.
I wouldn't recommend it. Most wall tiles are very smooth and wouldn't have any grit for the thin-set to adhere to.

With great difficulty!
(a) each what covers 25 square foot?(b) what do you want to know?
For a bathroom wall the design should be simplistic. Paint should be a good simple and not overwhelming background for a bathroom wall. Wallpaper would be too overwhelming so that would not be as good of a choice.
Consider a wall paper, something they wont be ashamed of in 5 or 10 years is always a plus. My mom had wall paper in our bathroom that had black and white pictures with subtitles, showing educational events in history. Another idea might be a sponge bob theme.
on a wall edge you would use what is called a bull nose tile it has a rounded edge
Yes, you can use floor tile on the wall. It can be heavy, but if you use a high quality latex fortified thin set (NOT mastic) you should have no issues. It also should be put onto cement board for best results. In the past using floor tile on the wall was an issue because trimpieces were not easily available. With trends changing, you are seeing more with bullnose and you can always use ceramic trim like schulter. Now, you CANNOT put wall tile on the floor. They are often made with white clay and other more bridle ingredient's. Check the box, it will tell you what it is rated for.
