I assume you mean wall height, not overall height. Overall height includes your roof. The pitch is quite shallow in the pics. If you are concerned about overall height, you could do a shed roof (your picture is a gable roof), with 8 foot height on the front and 7 at the back. This would reduce overall height signif...

The slivers at the top are because of bad layout/ not planning ahead. Tiles are prone to breaking wrong on those kinds of angle cuts when you use a score and snap cutter.

That looks like a girder truss (supporting other roof trusses). There definitely should not be a hole there. It looks like there may be some hangers missing on other trusses as well. The manufacturer can design a fix (probably will involve installing plywood along the side of the truss with a specific nailing pattern)....

You may be thinking of what they call a mud wall installation. Wire mesh tacked to the studs with a thick layer of mortar smeared over it. Those can be a huge pain to take out. But this looks like tiles adhered directly to cinder block.
