A corner toilet was my suggestion too. I have a family member with a 600 sq ft home on the beach and she has a corner toilet, a wall sink and a shower in her bathroom. It is not roomy by any stretch but it does the trick.
I think, since this is not a previously designated room, OP needs to configure it first to be up to code. The placement of plumbing and electrical will determine the future layout. After that, he has no choice but to shop for tiny space-saving toilet and vanity.
My suggestion was that, if possible, a floating (off floor) interior would look pretty cool. He will need every inch of his floor space.
Personally, I love the floating toilets with built-in water tank. Have them in every bathroom - in the US and overseas. https://www.geberitnorthamerica.com/...-wall-8-11.jpg
But to make it happen, the plumbing needs to be planned accordingly. It looks great, and it's such an easy clean up all around.
Plus a small floating vanity... https://www.wayfair.com/keyword.php?...loating+vanity https://www.amazon.com/Floating-Vani...loating+Vanity
and a mirror to make the room appear bigger
A wall hung toilet may save a little frontal space, due to the tank being within the wall, but that’s some really EXPENSIVE and small space considering the cost of that type of toilet.
Having a wall hung vanity may make the “illusion” of more space… but you certainly loose valuable storage space as opposed to a regular vanity. And there’s certainly nothing wrong with a full width vanity in the OP’s situation- it lends to more counter space also.
Sure, just wanted to point on some options.
Also, it's important to make a decision about electric outlets, in case OP decided later on a warm water bidet insert or the need for warm water in the sink (small water heater), or even just an illuminated mirror, LED strip or other lightning options.
Toilet and vanity on opposite 4 foot walls. Toilet tank is against the 4 foot wall. Vanity is closest to the door. Typical powder room. For a unique look, take down the existing door and add a “barn style” sliding door.

Tub is the problem. Unless I've misunderstood the question...
We have a similarly small half bath tucked under the stairs. Standard size single sink vanity on one end and the toilet on the other. No other viable option. There is a pocket door, so no concerns about door swinging out. The pocket doors are one of many things I love about the construction of our house...

It’s easier to have a clear path to the vanity, turn and close the door if using the toilet. I personally would prefer the door swinging out.

I have a small bath under the stairs. My existing door swings out into the hallway. I agree the door needs to swing out or be a pocket door. Im not a fan of those barn doors on bathrooms. When Im in there Id like a little privacy and those things dont always close things off like I would like.
I would do the larger vanity. You can never have too much storage space. Otherwise where will you store the extra toilet paper and the toilet brush and the cleaning stuff.
Over the toilet I would do a recessed medicine cabinet with a picture on the front. Adds some decor and its a good place to hide stuff.
