Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
1. It is not necessary to make wudhu if one takes a normal bath.  Those limbs that are necessary to wash in wudhu have been included in a normal bath.  To make wudhu after taking a bath is wastage of water.  It has come in a hadith:
عن ابن عباس قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم من توضأ بعد الغسل فليس منا
Ibn Abbas narrates the Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said, “Whosoever makes wudhu after taking a bath is not from us.” (Mu’jam Saghir & Mu’jam Awsat of Tabrani)
Dar al-Mukhtar (1:156) H.M. Saeed Company
Fatawa al-Hindiya (1:5) Maktaba Rasheediya
- وقالوا : لو مكث في ماء جار أو حوض كبير أو مطر قدر الوضوء والغسل . فقد أكمل السنة (در المختار)
- إذا أصاب الرجل المطر أو وقع في نهر جار جاز وضوءه وغسله أيضا إن أصاب الماء جميع بدنه وعليه المضمضة والاستنشاق . كذا في السراجية . (الهندية)
 
2. Modesty is a very essential and noble characteristic in Shariah.  The Prophet has said:
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال الإيمان بضع وستون شعبة والحياء شعبة من الإيمان
(متفق عليه)
Abu Hurairah narrates that Nabi (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said, “There are above sixty branches of Faith and modesty is an important branch of Faith.” (Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)
One must try to bring modesty into every aspect of life.  Even whilst bathing, one should try to adopt modesty.  To look at the private parts of one’s spouse is permissible; however it is better to refrain out of modesty.  Aisha (Radhiyallahu Anhu), the wife of Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) says:

عن عائشة قالت ما نظرت أو ما رأيت فرج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قط
(سنن امن ماجه,مسند احمد, شمائل الترمذى)
 “I have never seen the private parts of Rasulullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam. (Sunnan Ibn Majh, Musnad Imam Ahmed, Shamail al-Tirmidhi)
Rad al-Muhtar (6:366) H.M. Saeed Company
Fatawa Mehmoodia (12:360) Kutub Khana Mazhari
( قوله والأولى تركه ) قال في الهداية : الأولى أن لا ينظر كل واحد منهما إلى عورة صاحبه لقوله عليه الصلاة والسلام (إذا أتى أحدكم أهله فليستترما استطاع ولا يتجردان تجرد العير) ولأن ذلك يورث النسيان لورود الأثر (رد المحتار)
 
اس کی زندگی میں تمام جسم کو دیکہنے کا حق ہے مگر "ما راى منى و ما رأيت منه" حدیث عائشہ کی رعایت مناسب ہے – (فتاوی محمودیہ)
And Allah knows best
