is this a 1-1/4 inch diameter?

Yes, it is a 1 1/4" bar diameter.

Should a grab bar be mounted vertically or horizontally, or does it matter?

Hi Martin, in my case, I needed the bar mounted horizontally, so if my hand slipped at one point, I could slide it on across the bar. The best answer is to decide which works best for you. Even an angle mount is popular in some applications. Mine also doubles as a towel bar, so I mounted it horizontally. Now, structurally, it's going to be the same...find the stud...and if needed, use the mounting kit..(priced separately, but worth it.) Hope this helps!

Does this item come with the secure mount anchors , plastic guide sleeves mentioned in the video or must they be purchased separately?

According to the description the Secure Mount assembly is sold separately. This bar is sold based on securing the bar to a wall stud, if you want to mount it to a hollow wall then you will need to purchase the Secure Mount Assembly

Will be using as a door handle on a 1x3 board (really 2.5 inches). What is width of the flange/plate, please? Can't tell from product dimensions...

3 inches with bar in center.. It is a great product. Nice and sturdy when you have the studs behind...So plan well..
