NOT purrfect?? DUDE! This is better than some "pro" jobs I have seen done by PAID people that do it for a living!!!
Grout-are you going to try to match the coping or going for a contrast? I can see a medium gray to make the stone stand out.

My preliminary thoughts are to go with a white grout, just because I would think it looks cleaner. Maybe I will try to find some pictures of what others have done.
Type S mortar is pretty white it's a very light grey. I can snap a pic in the morning if you wanna see a fresh job with quickcrete profinish mortar as grout
Coping looks great overall dont sweat it. I see a baby booboo on that small inside corner piece but I've seen pros do waaaaay worst. Looks great be proud of it. Precast curve coping is one of the hardest to install you always have to fudge it and trim/shave material
Don't you always?......HA! SO I get what I want then LOL
It can be either. If your repair is close you waterproof that and then apply tile. You can go pretty thick with 254 its rated at 3/4" inch on vertical I've done over an inch on coping with no issues. 254 is super strong stuff grey is fine white is always a bit stronger in any thinset. Its water rated that's what makes it what it is. I'm doing a stone veneer tomorrow with their hi-bond mvis thinset supposedly it's the stickiest they make. We shall see how it goes my first time with it
Dont sweat the plaster guy he will fade it in wont be alot extra. Never set tile without a ledger they always slide you want the suction bond to stay in place. When tiles slide then get pushed back later they loose strength
