It would need to be g.f.c.I. Protected and if coming from a bedroom receptacle depending on when it was installed may already have a.f.c.I. Protection. If it does have a.f.c.I. Protection IMO might cause nuisance tripping problems!

yes, that is not a problem as I have done it before. A separate circuit is not necessary

If the controller has GFCI protection, does the supply circuit have to be GFCI

Not as far as the heat is concerned.

180 watts is a small heat mat.

I dont believe there is any requirement for GFCI for in floor bathroom heat, other than manufacturer destructions.
