I have been taking my girls to Bali annually since they were born (now 9 & 6½).. I have always bathed them in the bath/shower using the tap water and have never had any problems at all. I did explain to them about the water and not to drink it, cause it may make you sick.. etc etc. and 4 he should understand. In saying that I am sure at some stage water went in their mouth.. fortunately neither has ever been sick in Bali.. I guess just ensure that he is always survised and the bath/shower time is kept short.
As for him touching things, that is just what kids so and the Balinese are more tolerant of kids touching things in shops that Australian's are, so you will have no problem there either.
Enjoy your trip
