Answer
1. There is no specific restriction in using water for a bath. However, the water should be used only according to one?s need. To use more than that is wasting.
2. If you are still adhering to Deen, that is the greatest victory for you and that is the criterior for success.
3. Your intention is to please Allah and not people. That is sufficient. People appreciating you is a sign of acceptance from Allah. In order to overcome any possible pride, ponder upon your shortcomings. The solution is not to be out of sight.
4. It is not appropriate to be alone in the house with any Ghayr Mahram females. That includes the females offering home services.
