Would like to check if these two options are code compliant and if its even necessary to ven the bathroom sink condidering it will be draining to a 45 to the shower which will be connected to a roof vent that is shared with the kitchen sink (kitcheen sink also has a mechanical vent)
 
Those air valves just need to be accessible, either outside in the cabinet or access panel when its in the wall cavity. I don't want to say anything about the pipework but wouldn't install it like that in my house but it should still work fine.
 
The second sketch shows the P-trap connecting to a combo wye which is not to code. That fitting needs to be a Sanitary tee. I assume you are putting the AAV in the attic because you don't want to put an access box in the wall. I think I would rather have the AAV under the sink in the trap arm like the first sketch as opposed to in the attic. If you did that, you could then use a combo fitting or a Sanitary tee for that drain connection to the vertical drain line.

Can I use a street 90 in the wall with a 2"x 1 1/2" reducer or does the wall 90 have to be long turn

With the AAV under the sink, you can use a regular 1/4 bend, i.e. 90. If you can find the following item, it would be the easiest to use. Otherwise, you can use a 1 1/2" or 2" 90 with the reducer in the appropriate place.
