The outlets will be resituated to so faucet is in center......should it come all the way to left hand wall and down to floor. Right hand wall.... to front edge of counter or not at all?

are you asking about the outlet placement or backsplash?? If outlet, it should probably be moved off to the right side wall, a few inches from the corner. As for the backsplash, you have the 4" one.

That 4” piece needs to be removed if you want to add a tile backsplash

yes, you already have a backsplash that counter piece. If you wish to add tile, please remove that first, then I would tile to the end of the counter on the wall with outlets only

That sink top is all one piece it doesn't look like just the 4" backsplash can be removed. I wouldn't add another backsplash

That's a one piece top. Adding backsplash won't look right at all with that top. I'd leave it as is. Move the outlet, paint, add a mirror and you are done.

It is hard to see the one above the sink, but the one to the left is clear. You really need to have GFCI outlets. I know it seems silly, but it could save a life.
