How flat is flat, and have I messed up?

I have a small downstairs toilet which I am tiling. It's only 1.78m long by 0.8m wide. Where the toilet was there is a small bump in the floor. I am laying 45x45cm so 8 tiles will cover the whole floor. On the right half of the floor the floor is flat, but around the old toilet area if I put a spirit level on the top, I've probably got 2 to 3mm on each end of the spirit level. I am using a trowel with 10mm x 20mm notches in it.

Will the flexible adhesive and a spirit level flatten this off, or do I need a self levelling compound? And if I do need a self levelling compound, do I do the entire floor?

Lastly, where I took up the carpet grippers and toilet there were some small holes. I filled this with polyfilla.

Is this polyfilla going to cause me problems, or will it be fine once I put the primer, (possible self leveller) and flexible adhesive?

Any help really really appreciated!

You can take 3mm up with the adhesive, can you lay the highest tile first and work from there?.
