Try that, and make sure those connections are tight. Make sure the dryer is unplugged before you tighten
Do you have to a multimeter?

Check the control board for any blown glass fuses if you aren't getting 220VAC (in the US) between both spade connectors on the new coil

>My understanding that the updated NEC only requires arc fault breakers for 20/15 amp outlets in bedrooms.
........ No.
Re-read the NEC if you're going to cite it.

Don't do this. You're thinking in the right direction though.
If the receptacle is only rated for 20 Amp even though the wire is over sized, you breaker for the lowest rated component. In this case, the the receptacle.
Use a 20a breaker.
As far as connecting the receptacle, use a 12 gauge pigtail. It's not rated for 8awg

FYI the insulation batting that's up there either has an oddly variegated dark back side of the vapor barrier or you've got a mold issue too. Find the source of the leak and fix that.
As far as the lead paint, there are cheap test kits from your local big box store. Ask the paint department where to find these.

Espresso stain is notorious for being tough to get an even coat with.
Try a water or oil based stain too.... The gel stuff is kind of "gimmicky".

Honestly not sure I could explain in text, but once you get the p trap kit, it'll have instructions on it as far as which way to orient the gaskets etc

Go grab a p trap kit from homedepot/your big box store. It'll be about maybe $5?
If the p trap is siphoned dry after you shut off the water from the sink (it shouldn't, but might depending on how the behind the wall section is plumbed), you will need to add an under counter vent between the wall connection and the trap but that's only if needed.

It makes a hell of a difference!

Toilets are easy to replace, especially if you have a helper guiding you as far as positioning goes.
I wouldn't recommend cheaping out on a toilet, this is one area where expensive is better (to a point). $100-$150 per toilet is a good starting budget here in the Midwest USA.

Reply to Hot Water Pipe Keeps Freezing by ImitationFire
The cold water may be getting used more often than the hot.
Stagnant water freezes much quicker in pipes as fresh water carries heat energy with it.
Try leaving a tap on hot just barely on a trickle.

It's much easier to demo tile if you just take it off with the backer board in strips.
Then just replace it all.
I know it sounds stupid but it's less mess and faster so you come out ahead in the long run.

You have no ground conductor there, but but since it is outside, you'll need a weatherproof enclosure and a GFI receptacle anyway.
GFI will take care of the grounding issue.

Sometimes it's easier to to demo tile with the drywall/cement board behind it as well and just replace the drywall after.

More to the OP:
Fun fact, it's usually easier to remove larger pieces of sheet rock in one go. That way you have a better chance of getting to screw it back to 2 studs, instead of having to worry about adding backing through a small hole. Plus a larger piece makes for a sturdier repair.

Check that the heating element has 240 volts across the inputs when the power is on. Be very careful when you're doing this, do not short anything and do not touch anything electrical with your body.
