To be honest the bond issue is subjective as a true brick bond (as in bricks not tiles) would set out as you have layed the tiles with the Hal brick actuall being a full brick running in behind the full brick coming off of the wall adjacent as you have done. Same as if it was an external corner the full Tile would have a half Tile lapping around to make it look like a brick rather than a Tile. Some designers let you know which way they prefer and others just let you choose but can’t see a massive issue there. But the Silicon joint looks massive and the lippage quite bad as a result. But seen a lot worse on here to be fair

I always go small cut after big (even if full), big, big and small, small above just looks wrong to me but it's all very subjective as previously said so I always ask customer what they'd prefer if full tile in a corner works.
Of course tiles with a clear pattern and flow changes things, so would set out so the off cuts could wrap. I would have also had full tile off tray and drilled the pipe holes where they land.(unless there's more to it than the photo shows and you couldn't for some reason)
