"Initial fit-out" would be if you are the first tenant in a new core and shell building, meaning there are no already existing interior walls, finishes, etc. Undergoing alteration would be if you are not the first tenant, so you are modifying an existing tenant fit-out that has walls, finishes, etc. already in place. These two values determine if you can attempt MRc1.2 for building reuse.

My assumption would be that you don't need to include the restrooms and mechanical rooms in the square footage, but you'll need to include those fixtures and equipment in credits that take into account the tenant scope of work.

John- we received guidance from a certification team that is very similar to what Tristan wrote about. I have not, however, found this info in writing in any official USGBC/GBCI documents.
