regards to the floor waste. Is it fairly easy to reroute the waste
pipe from the wall to where the floor waste meets the one in the wall?

How do I say this gently? If you have to ask, it is beyond your skill
set for a DIY project. Somewhere between trivial and impossible,
depending on what access is available from below, and what is behind the
wall you want to hang it on. Basically means demolishing that portion of
the bathroom, and building back new work. Wall and floor have to be
opened up, vent stack may have to be rerouted, wall framing has to be
reworked and blocking added (and probably changed from 2x4 to 2x6 to
make the plumbing fit painlessly), so on and so on. I might consider
such a change if bathroom needed a full gut job anyway, but if current
toilet and drain setup work, hard to justify the change.

Not a fan of wall-hung toilets anyway, in residential applications.
Always afraid they will break off, and I'll have a very embarrassed
conversation with the hosts.
