Take the S shuttle train (color code grey) west across 42nd Street, from Grand Central (East 42nd) to Times Square (West 42nd).
At the Times Square Station, transfer to the Downtown 1-2-3 trains (the red line). You could also take the Downtown A-C-E (the blue line) but this will require you to walk an extra block west underground (the A-C-E runs up and down 8th Avenue, while the Times Square Station is at 7th Avenue. So there is a tunnel connecting the A-C-E to the Times Square Station, so you can transfer without exiting the subway system). It's easier to just take the 1-2-3.
Take the Downtown 1-2-3 or A-C-E ONE STOP, from Times Square (West 42nd) to Penn Station (West 34th).
To travel from Grand Central Terminal to Linden Boulevard in Brooklyn, take the 4, 5, or 6 subway line from Grand Central to Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall.

According to Wikipedia and the MTA themselves, 77 of New York City's subway stations have working bathrooms, and 28 of these stations are in Manhattan. However, according to the Related Link (see below), in Manhattan, only 8 of these stations are actually functioning and open to the public (9 including "the developer-financed wonder bathroom at the Times Square Station"). The only one on the 6 line is the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall Station. There are also bathrooms at Grand Central Terminal, downstairs, near the food court. The 4-5-6 line stops at 42nd Street-Grand Central Station, but Grand Central Station is the subway station, while Grand Central Terminal is the railroad station. So, you would have to exit the subway system to use the bathroom, and then pay another fare to get back on the subway.
Grand Central Station & Terminal are located at East 42nd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues. Grand Central Station is the subway station, where you can catch the 4-5-6 (the dark green line, aka the Lexington Avenue Line) or the S shuttle train to Times Square. Grand Central Terminal is the railroad terminal, for trains that are not part of the New York City subway system (like MetroNorth commuter trains).
