The simplest repair is to get a new shower hose (and probably head) and
connect the two 11mm tubes together. I'm having difficulty finding the
right connector though. I think what I need is an 11mm version of this:

Looking pretty is not a requirement, the whole installation will be
replaced next year.

Not a lot of pressure difference, you won't need the ridges provided
you have enough friction. So any old bit of tube which is a reasonably
tight fit. Add cable ties and/or adhesive if it slips off.

I'm not so sure, the existing repair has failed due to larger than
expected pressure difference across the shower head. And I probably
would glue the ridges too. For other bits of tube, is here anything
standard that might work (eg normal copper piping).
