>Your picrel
I don't do exterior installs which is where you'd see those anchors typically used. I've never used them indoors.

>Small triangle curb
Yes it's never going to be truly curbless if you go with a slit drain, you'll always have that drop down where we typically throw glass. At six feet you are looking at roughly a 2inch to zero triagular curb off the top of my head. If you go with a center drain you are basically drawing an x in the floor and sloping those four triagles to the center (square) drain, but it can be curbless. A less technical approach is what you've mentioned, a mosaic tile (or as you said penny tile) makes things a lot easier. You drypack your slope and install to your heart's content. The caveat is that more grout = more headaches down the road.

If it were me I'd go with a porcelain mosaic subway tile, semi-gloss or matt (really dull can be hard to keep clean) non textured tile (soap magnet) then do my walls in a beautiful stone slabs. Absolutely do not recommend using a natural stone mosaic, it will look great for a year they you'll be pulling your hair out when you realize you can't clean it with any of the common soap scum removers. It will discolour and become nasty quickly. Its the most common situation where I recommend renovation/replacement over repair. Besides this, avoid black grout, another common mistake, go with a white and use sealer to maintain it and bleach to keep it white.

Hopefully that answered some qs, I'm on a phone so it's hard to answer properly
