Curious, what's this part (and should I have one on my bath)?! Imagine it's a vent of some kind. Our bath drains, alongside the loo and the sink into the stack outside, and there is a vent at the top of that. So perhaps not.

The waste drains into the stack directly (no hopper). Should one not use a "shallow trap" in such case? Curious as to why not? Flexi pipe - probably just easier to negotiate join (!?)

Nice. Looking up the product "Overall height, including trap and waste is only 112mm". Your attention to detail is inspiring.

Hello, First post from a long time admirer of the site! Our plumber has fitted a bath (400mm internal height / deep). It feels quite high in the room (the edge is 600mm off floor). So there's approx 200mm under the bath. Wondering about having it lower, so took a look at the plumbing stack...
