What you are trying to do can get really complicated and if not done properly be a disaster!
Sounds like the same procedure for building a shower pan is more along the line of what you need. There are many Youtube videos for how that is done. I just did one, it turned out well, but what a job!
It involves installing a vinyl liner, and covering that with "sand topper mix" mortar. It is mixed very dry, packed into place and formed with a level to get proper drainage. It is then covered with tile.
But even this has it's limits as far as tapering out to a thin edge. Really the only way to do a taper down to floor level is to cut the floor and make a thick edge that can be brought down flush.
If you want to DIY this, you might want to get some bids, see what the pros would do, then decide if you want to try. Just be aware, water WILL get under the surface! Where it goes is what you have to prepare for. Best done right the first time.
