Seems fine to me. If you tank, make sure you use powder adhesive as tub gear won't dry out very quickly, and probably not at all if you fix porcelain tiles.

Depending on manufacturer of tanking materials, it may not be necessary to prime.

Without seeing the wall it is a bit hard to say, but replacing the plasterboard isn't a big job and gives a good surface to tile to.

If you do replace the plasterboard, you may want to consider something like aquapanel or some other water resistant board, these wouldn't need tanking, only the wall that is ready to tile.
