Default Some more electrical questions for bath reno

These are some pics of the gutted bathroom I'm renovating, with the
last pic showing a tub I installed.
Going from left to tight will be a toilet, vanity sink, and the tub.

1) With regard to putting a GFI outlet by the vanity, I was
questioning to put it on the left side or the right side of the
vanity. Any issues if I mount it to the right of the vanity, within
arms reach of the shower (is it code)? Or am I better off mounting it
on the left side by the toilet?

2) When mounting a box above the medicine cabinet for the vanity
light, is an octagon box used, or can I just use an outlet box mounted
sideways as I've seen in the past?

3) If I'm putting a Hi-hat in the shower (8 foot high ceiling), does
it need to be GFI? I thought I read somewhere as long as your using
the correct lens/baffle it does not need to be GFI.

Thanks again for everyones help.
