    The peeling is likely due to moisture behind and inside the block. Cement block was never intended to be a shower liner. You might want to consider installing a ready made fiberglass liner that can be glued to clean block. The drain connection is an open question because I don't know what makes up your current drain. It might just be an old floor drain that someone center a shower over.
