That bottom diagonal brace would have been better going the same way as the top diagonal.

I have used them many times on that type of cartridge you linked above and they have worked a treat. Type this in the search box on ebay. If they don't fit you have only wasted £3.50. New Valve Tap Replacement Ceramic Disc & Silicon Washer Gasket Insert 1/2'' UK

This kit on ebay will fit your taps and is less than £4 for hot & cold.

Measure the diameter of your bath waste and the washer needs to fit inside the trap but seal against that waste fitting.

It sits inside the nut and pushes tight against the bath waste when you tighten.

You need a trap inlet washer.38mm i think.Measure inside that nut and see.

Just drill a 110mm hole and seal any gap with foam or whatever depending on the hole size. You don't need to sleeve it although a slightly bigger hole and foam will do that.

As above,but i prefer a wet finger as my tool.You could use masking tape as well as a your finger,but realy no need. 25 years ago whilst on pricework i was getting £10 to silicone a bath.......£300 an hour. Unfortunately i was only doing one every day.

Exactly.....lots are BSP thread as is the one in the photo.That is why i said it's a straightforward job.

The nut will be imperial because the ballcock is 1/2 BSP and the nut is screwed onto it. It won't make any difference to what you want to do..Just change the ballcock and add an isolating valve.

Yes........i think they are making a mountain out of a molehill. All the threads are BSP and in any case 15mm and old imperial will fit each other. Just undo the nut on the inlet.remove ballvalve and fit new.Add an isolating valve and job done in 15 min's.
