There is no set rule on how high a shelf should be hung over a toilet. A good rule of thumb is, high enough that no one will hit their head.

Proper height for mounting a towel bar above a toilet tank?
There are many factors that need to be considered to answer this question. Insufficient data not provided. What is the type of towel that will be hung from this towel bar? Guest towel, hand towel or bath towel? For most guest or hand towels you want to divide the length of the towel by 2, add 3 or 4 inches so the towel doesn't contact the toilet tank top. Also consider that gravity factors into it as well. Ideally, the towel should not hang any higher than the shoulder of the average person using the towel after washing their hands. This is to keep the water on the hands from dripping down the sleeve of the person using the towel. Then consider the aesthetics of having a decorative item (Guest soap basket or a small floral dish or basket) on top of the toilet tank. Also consider hanging a small picture above the towel bar to balance the effect. There is no direct way to answer the question, just a few hints to consider what will be functional, easy to use and add to the overall design of the bathroom.

Can you hang a towel bar behind the door of a bathroom?
Sure, but make sure that there is protection for the wall behind it, so that the bar does not accidentally punch through the wall. However, if the door is a hollow door, I am not sure how much weight it will hold or how you would put in anchors, since the wood is not very thick. There was a towel bar on the wall behind a door in one house that I lived in and it worked okay.
