First of all, the 1/2" trowel is more for floors than walls. They will say 1/2" for walls too just to cover their bases, but no one is going to be walking on these tiles, and they're not going to...

What's the minimum space you'd recommend for the slope between the 1" edge down to the 1/4" edge? This will be walked on to enter the primary shower floor area.

That was my first thought too CX. This is a general "rule" for basically all boards (drywall, plywood subfloor, backerboard, etc.) I went and looked it up in the HardiBacker installation manual. ...

You don't hear many stories here about how the builder came back and redid it all, so that's good. It seems reasonable to ask for a different crew/company to rebuild it with a different technique. ...

If I understand you correctly, I'd push the vanity top against the wall, then set tiles so they sit on the vanity top. But I'm not sure why you'd have tile under the vanity top, so maybe I don't...
