I'd just try to find some pictures of bathrooms you like for inspiration and go from there. Generally tub/shower surrounds use different tiles than the floor, but that's not a hard and fast rule.
As for the cost, tiled tub surrounds can add up because of the time/materials for waterproofing and the finicky nature of it. And if the bathroom is the only tile in the house, the per square foot cost will go up. I haven't been quoted tile work recently enough to know the precise costs, but I wouldn't be surprised if just the tub/shower surround ate up that $2K budget.
