I believe your only violation is 210.11(C)(3)

The three circuits you proposed is correct.
It seems ill advised but If you really wanted to squeeze it you could put the 2 bath recepts on one 20a and the bath lights on the same circuit as the outdoor/garage BC.

I also notice that the sub panel have no spare circuit breaker, it would be a fun job try to change all that and a new and bigger panel.
I did suggest to the home owner, that is violation on code,

As mentioned earlier, you will need to know when the building was permitted to know if it is actually a violation, your discription was normal proceedure in earlier code cycles.

I know you're eager to learn, but you probably should leave this alone until you get your license or can work with a journeyman.
