It depends on the width of your tub. The distance would be so that your shower curtain would hang in the middle of the edge of the tub.
This shower rod from Home Depot is adjustable to 42" to 72" http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&productId=100032192&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&ci_sku=100032192&ci_src=14110944&cm_mmc=shopping-_-googlebase-_-D29X-_-100032192
Well when you measure blinds you measure inside the windoseal wall to wall. For curtains it all depends how far you want them to pass the windo vertically and horozontally First you need to decide where you would like your curtains to end in relation to your floor. Floor length curtains sit directly on the floor (order them 1 inch shorter if you would like for them hang slightly off the floor), trouser length panels "break" on the floor (add 1 -2 inches to the order length of your panels), and puddle length curtains form soft folds on the floor (add 6 - 7 inches to the order length of your panels). In addition, you will also need to consider your drapery hardware. For example, if you already have a drapery rod in place and would like floor length panels, simply measure from the base of the ring to the floor. For rod pocket curtains (no rings), measure from the top of the rod to the floor. If you do not have a rod in place already, remember the higher you mount your rod, the higher your window and ceilings will appear. I prefer to mount drapery rods several inches above the window. In most cases I will take the distance between my window frame and crown molding (or ceiling), divide it in half, and go a few inches above my half mark as I do not like even spaces above and below the rod (just a designer pet peeve I suppose). Of course, if you have extremely high ceilings, this rule changes. Try taking a long piece of blue painter's tape and making a line above your window on your wall where you think you will hang your rod, how does it look? Move it up a bit and take another look. Additionally, I like my rods to project atleast 4 -6 inches beyond the window frame on each side (if there are no obstacles) to allow my curtains to hang outside the window and give the appearance of a larger window.
No specific clarity about rod
The weight of 1 foot of steel rod would depend on the diameter of the rod.
