You are correct. If you want a good lawn the prep is all important.
In WA lots of people simply level out the sand, throw on some dynamic lifter then roll on the turf. Because we are on sand it kinda works, but the lawn will never be good quality and will struggle.
Remove a good layer of sand as you have specified and bring in a good quality lawn mix. That will be a mix of sand, loam and fertilizer that will promote good root growth.
A 100mm of lawn mix would be enough but 150 is even better.
While you have the original sand out do all your retic prelay and then back fill with your lawn mix. It is easier than digging in the retic after.

Just for a bit of fun, this is the sand I currently have.

Depends how much direct sun it gets. Is there any shading (eaves or trees)? If the sun hits a window directly it doesn't matter too much if it's double or single…

I'll look into different shower heads and ask the plumber about some engineering and see what he says. Thanks
