Should have used W.B.P. (water + boil proof) Plywood. As for the adhesive, if you ask your tile supplier, they will recommend an adhesive

Marine Ply is fine for the job, once you have it well screwed down as you say to stop movement.

All you need now is flexible waterproof adhesive and grout and you can tile away.
