'How difficult will it be for me to drain the bath into this pipework'
Cast iron or plastic - i was referring to the stack ??? as you say this is where you wanted the waste to discharge.
I have just done my bathroom a few months back. I removed as much tile adhesive as possible (took a while), installed the bath then I had the room re-plastered this provides a flat surface for re-tiling.
Also plastering after the bath installation, the bath was sunk into the wall - even if only a few mm then with the adhesive and tiles on top of that there should be no leaks when using the shower.
As for the measurment - it's up to you, measure to the bottom of trap, pipe and outlet - or top or middle - if measured to the middle, as long as you measure to the middle of the trap, pipe and boss/soil connection it'll be correct
Also - if tiling, you don't need a bath seal - alot of people use bath seals when the tiles and adhesive are capable of making the seal. Bath seals are always the first thing to discolour and make the bathroom look untidy.
