I think nuns wore ankle length habits until comparatively recent times.
Yes, pre Vatican II, even for an order working in the community or a hospital, relatively modern style dress such as in the photo would have been unusual for a nun. I don't think it's a nun in the photo.
On the 'toilets' issue, perhaps it was different in the UK, but until the last 70 years or so in Ireland, while there would have been public signs for 'gentlemen's' conveniences attached to pubs, 'ladies' were above such bodily functions and horror of horrors would not be seen in a public house anyway.
