Please forgive me if this is covered elsewhere, I could not find it.

I'm considering a longhaul flight on EVA Premium Economy (I flew business and enjoyed it a lot, this time I'm flying with someone and thinking of getting the two adjacent seats in PE).

My concern is what happens if the passenger in front of me reclines all the way. How much does this interfere with my own personal space.

(I'm 6'4" 225 lbs).

Will I still be able to cross my legs? Get in and out of seat as needed?

Note, I do not plan to recline my seat (I can't sleep even in business class), and plan to stay up and use the laptop or watch TV the whole way through.

Thank you.

(Bonus question: How is the PE toilet versus Business class? Same size or will it be a tight squeeze)?

There are two restrooms in PE section. The PE restroom size are the same as in Y class.

For some of my tpac travels, One consideration factor I personally choose BR is because of the PE-specific lavatories compared to SQ. It's a key differentiator as the restrooms are still relatively well maintained as it's dedicated to PE pax. Ymmv of course.

The front pax leaning all the way back should not affect your use of the tray table (since it pops out from the arm rest). It should also not affect your leg room or the use of foot pedals. If you're big, it can be a bit tight getting in and out of seat although probably no worse than doing the same in Y with the seat in front upright. I don't know about crossing your legs... it may be tight if you have to cross legs.

That is a consideration for me also, although on certain flights Y pax flood the PE lavs nonetheless. The reason why this happens is that the crew sometimes does not fully close the curtain between Y and PE cabins. If they don't strap the curtain over the hooks, then the curtain becomes less of a barrier and opens the floodgate of Y pax coming up front to use PE lavs. On my recent trip, the return flight crew was good about this and no Y pax came up. On the outbound flight, though, I actually decided to hook-close the curtain myself because of the incessant influx of Y pax, but then someone (presumably FA) unhooked the curtain afterwards and the floodgate continued.

Ignore Gengar and Bear4Asian's posts. Both are completely wrong and giving bad information. Blackhappy is completely correct.

There are restrooms in ALL PE cabins on the 777s, regardless of the type. On the 77A/B (which is the same exact layout except for Y), the restrooms are located on the sides (behind the pair seats, one on each side). On the 77M, the restrooms are located in the middle (behind the 4 seats, one facing each side). The lavs are the same size throughout the plane, except for the handicap accessible ones.

Overly harsh, as I only relayed what is on BR's website and was very specific with my word choice. I'll defer to your knowledge, but then BR's website is wrong for multiple configurations.
