Technology has changed a lot since my time installing. White multipurpose cement is always what I used and still seeing used but not sure which brand is considered best. Regarding the seat idea, I think staying straight is best, as it allows you to squeegee it dry with ease and minimal grout joints. If you are not worried about that, I'd probably just build the structure out in cement board then use that orange waterproofing (forgot the name) skimmed in multipurpose cement then put my mosaics/tiles across the shapes. In theory if you use natural stone mosaics you can also grind away 1/8th or so to curve things slightly, but this would be insane to do and a lot of work, but possible.

I would not think they would deform enough to make that possible. Maybe Caesar stone sure, it's pretty flexible, but natural stone would eventually fracture in really strange ways eventually leading to issues in the grain of the material that could be problematic down the road, cracks, discoloration and Fischer's would form long before your desired slope was achieved. Grinding would be wiser in the long run, but you'd need material thick enough to meet your sloping needs and still be strong enough to install without breaking. You'd also need to resurface it all to wtv finish you want which is tedious and expensive. Ive never seen it done, in have seen tubs and sinks of course, but never a shower floor.
