*important disclaimer: things labelled with s/m/l are not consistent between countries, brands or even within brands. Use actual measurements. The fact that sellers might provide actual measurements of the item actually makes buying second hand on platforms like Vinted better than new from many shops.

Sizing on Vinted

Vinted is not a unified store front, it's just people selling stuff - ask for measurements if in doubt

Fitting and suit pants

post photos of you wearing the trousers you are asking about. Fashion is visual, nothing helps us answer whether something looks good or how to make it look good like a photo!

Getting suits in Bangkok - looking for suggestions!

I would echo everything everyone else has said, but I would also add this - if you're doing MTM in a foreign country with a "tailor" who is targeting people on short trips at 'cheap prices' there is nearly no incentive for them to make you something actually that good. This is largely also true of places like those that exist where I live that exist on doing bulk "MTM" groomsmen stuff etc. You're not likely to come back for repeat business, or be in a position to do a return, the volume of people doing similar is really high so they won't lose customers from a bad review you're unlikely to leave, and the main incentive is to get the suit done as quickly as possible with whatever fabrics are around with minimal alterations to the block pattern because that's fast and will see you on your way in 3-5 days. This is not a recipe for doing stuff to the best standard. If you then layer in some potential cultural [what fit is desirable?]/language barriers then it gets very messy really easily.

Confidence, Shifts, and Looking Better for My age + Mobility and Utility

You can buy shirts at Uniqlo and other cheaper retailers for about your budget, mid range stuff is probably closer to $100 to $200, beyond that the sky is the limit.

Attending a funeral and unsure what would be a better option

But this is kinda all context dependent, last funeral I went to I wore my floral knit EG suit at the request of the family and that's loud AF.

Attending a funeral and unsure what would be a better option

Personally I'm with @bean on blue suit with black accessories, but I've done navy blazer, tie, tan chinos to a funeral before. IMO black knit tie is fine, most people won't read it as anything other than a black tie.

How do I find good clothing stores around me?

The English speaking internet is going to be a very poor resource for finding good brands/retailers in Romania unfortunately, especially if you're not in Bucharest. So the above tips around word of mouth and looking for stockists of brands you like might work.
