What is the standard height for a tub faucet valve?
When installing a bathtub faucet or tub & shower divertor valve, the bathtub spout must terminate above the flood level rim of the bathtub a minimum of 2"inches.This would place the stub out for the spout approximately 6"inches above the rim of the bathtub.Now just install the faucet or divertor high enough so the trim plate will not contact the spout.12 to 15"inches above the spout should be fine.

Should the shower curtain rod be mounted inside or outside of a molded 3 piece tub?
It is personal preference. Most are probably inside the tub, but for taller people or if the shower head is above the wall of the shower, it may want to be higher.
How do you fix a shower that has no hot water pressure when there is hot water pressure everywhere else in the house?
Replace the shower valve (faucet). I would call a plumber to check it out. Because there may be another reason, it depends on other things besides faucet. Like a crimped water line under slab floor, if you have copper water lines, i have seen the cooper pipe go all the way into a tee and block off the outlet to the faucet. If it has been like i have mentioned above it would have been like this since day one. It would help if people would tell how old there house is and how long has the problem been going on. And yes it could be very much the faucet itself if it just starting do it. IN ADDITION: This also depends if the shower has a mixer or tap (faucet) installed, as the question didnt stipulate this. The rest of the house could have taps and the shower have a mixer. Mixers need a minimum pressure of 400 kpa from the hot water tank (geyser) to work. If the hot water tank is of a lower pressure this would explain for its poor performance.
How far should bathroom outlets and switches be from the shower or tub?
At least six feet away. The idea is that you cannot be standing in water when you operate it. Most people can't reach 6 feet.
Is the shower head to be installed in the showerstall or above it in the wall?
above it in the wall
Can shower head be installed above shower stall?
You can put it at any height. Unless there is some other reason not to, something structural, I always put them above the shower stall for taller people.
