Each Viewliner roomette has its own private toilet, sink, and vanity. (Some say that this is awkward when traveling with two people, but it's not a big deal to send the other person out of the room if it matters that much.) Viewliners have no common restrooms.
Attendants on Superliner sleepers will keep the restrooms tidy if they're doing their job correctly. There are also far fewer pax than in coach to trash them.
I've never had a problem having a travel companion in a roomette, be they friend, family, or s/o. It really depends on your comfort zone.
I would say that it's generally not worth it to take a bedroom; the extra spend tends to be huge. I've only traveled in bedrooms under three circumstances: on someone else's dime, on an AGR award, or an op-up.
