In order to comply with the RT(WT)R you should have a break of at-least 15 minutes before exceeding 6 hours work, if your working time is between 6 and 9 hours you should have another 15 minutes break before the end of shift.
If your working time is more than 9 hours you should have a break of at-least 15 minutes before exceeding 6 hours working time and total of 45 minutes break/breaks before the end of shift which can be taken in separate breaks of no less than 15 minutes each.
RT(WT)R breaks also count for driving breaks where appropriate and vice versa so a 15 minute WTD break at or before 6 hours working time will also count as the first part of a split driving break.
If you reach 4½ hours driving time before exceeding 6 hours working time the 45 minute driving break will also cover you for the RT(WT)R break.

I think it’s 20 minutes for the general WTD but not the WTD for mobile workers and never was as far as I’m aware.

If you had a 45 minute break from 05:00 to 05:45 you would need another 15 minute break no later than 11:45 (6 hour rule), that is of course assuming that you didn’t reach another 4½ hours driving first.
A few companies probably don’t bother with the working time regulations but unless you’re sure that your company don’t bother with it I would stick to it, well personally I’d comply with the 6 hour rule anyway.
Same as above^
