Below is picture of tile in this bathtub now, it’s coming out. What size would fit in the posted dimensions that would avoid a line of small cut tile?

Is it necessary to caulk between wall tile & tub and tub & floor?

The vertical wall seams crack more readily because the house shifts and moves. Ive tried grouting only and going back to caulk with sanded grout caulk or silicon only after a crack develops, hoping in some cases it will not. Sometimes it does not crack. Some contractors caulk all seams as a matter of course, no callbacks, safer. I liked the idea of sanded grout caulk to match your grout color It has not held up for me in wet conditions, such as the top of the bathtub where the wall tile starts, etc. , definitely not along the shower floor where the wall tile starts. It has held up in other areas though, and looks nicer when it all ties in. I agree, mildew on silicon is unsightly. Every bathroom has different conditions, including ventilation, moisture, etc. Some people have to clean out and recaulk the silicon every year or two. Whether its allegedly mildewproof silicon or not.

I know I've seen some sizable niches here in the past year or so. Do a search at the bottom of the page for niches and see what you can pull up. I'll post some pics of the niches in our three bathrooms. Our niche sizes/placements/orientations were based on various factors; shower storage needs, tile shape/size, behind the wall restrictions (pipes, wiring, studs....).

It has a cool 80's Contemporary Memphis Movement Italian vibe to it, so it could be a great original detail that would be valuable to the home. Does the rest of the home have similar interesting features? 80's Contemporaries and becoming more appreciated and their values are rising if they have those original details. It won't be easy to either disguise, or change. Use is as is until you are ready to remodel the bathroom. It will need to be completely gutted and renovated to change that.

A 12" high tile would allow for a cut at the bottom to suit unlevel tub, and a small cut at top. Not all 12" tile lay up exactly 12", so you'd have to verify. You'd also have to make sure the tile you choose is suitable for thin joints and whatever coursing you plan. The tile you have now is in staggered brick coursing. Some tiles are not suitable for that coursing. A good tile supplier can advise you.

Are you ripping out brand new tile to hide that cut at the top? Yikes. Add a layer of 1/2” Sheetrock.

A good tiler can make ANY size work. It is relatively simple math to figure out the cuts, so you do not end up with ceiling slivers. Just use some polyurethane crown molding around the room to hide that, and move on with your life. If you waterproofed the walls correctly.
