What do you do when the transition bw drywall and cement isn't perfectly flat. Smooth it out as best you can with joint compound?

Cement board inside corners - tape them as well? With cement board mesh tape?

Is it fine to use mesh in the non-painted corners? And paper in the painted corners?

So first time using thinset for the cement board seams and joint compound for the cement board to sheet rock transitions. It's not easy to get it right. Now I now why sheetrock needs to be perfectly flush.

Got a few questions-->

1. How do I fill in these large voids of space

2. How do I patch large holes? Cut out a larger piece and replace with fresh sheetrock?

I replaced large holes with new Sheetrock pieces.

With he smaller gaps in the curved areas I used mesh tape->mud -> multiple small strips of prefolded tape to follow the curve without creating bubbles.

Now I've got a couple more problem spots to fill in.

How do I tape the seams between the Sheetrock and door frame?

Same as all other seams?

I'm going to paint part of the cement board. Should I skim coat with mud first?

When Painting over thinset seams, should i sand them down first and then apply mud to get it smooth?

For the holes near the copper, can I put mesh tape and some mud, followed by redguard? Or do I need to use thinset?

Thanks.
