A:  I had this grab bar installed in my new shower. I do not know I about a pool but I imagine it would be safe, ask a pool store . I am sure they know for sure.Good Luck

A:  Don’t install both horizontal. The bar that would be at your side should be on an angle. And the one in front of you, horizontal. But more important, is having an assist bar on the vertical by the door. Because most people fall when they are getting in or out of the shower/tub.

A:  Yes

A:  I don't see why not. The only possible issue is that the washer for the wingit could possibly extend beyond the edge of the flange. If that happens, you would not be able to put the escutcheon plate over the screw heads to hide them. I mounted my grab bar on a pine board, then mounted the board to the wall. This allowed me to go directly into wall studs with screws that went through the board. I didn't want to chance that the wallboard might not be able to support the weight of somebody grabbing the bar. I have photos, but I don't see a place to post them in this response.

A:  Yes, the gentleman that installed our grab bars was impressed with them.  Liked them better than the normal anchors.  We use our grab bars multiple times a day and have had no issue with them pulling out of the wall.  

A:  If you mean toggle bolts yes they are

A:  I know you will need long bolts. I'm sure that is obvious.

A:  Thank you. Preferred installation is in a wooden stud.

A:  I would have it done by someone who has done this before commercially otherwise you would be asking for trouble.

A:  If the tiles are directly attached to the block using thin set or some similar continuous adhesive, I would drill a clearance hole in the and then either 1) drill pilot holes in the concrete block for a concrete screws or 2) drill holes for an insert or anchor and use standard pan head sheet metal screws.
