I am planning to tile around the bathroom instead of baseboard. I
have seem tile in bathroom remodels and think it looks good and is

Good for you.

I have 2 questions:

1. When tiling the wall, do you put backer board on first and then
tile?

No, just use mastic type adhesive. Attach to the wall.

2. How big should the tile be (going up the wall) 3", 4", 5" ?? Or
does it matter?

Thanks...

4".

I must admit my entire house has tile "baseboard".
