This helped cut down on my litter everywhere problem: Petmate Booda Dome Cleanstep Cat Box, Brushed Nickel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002DH8LE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_diNhzb850MR5A
We have a litter digger so we got this covered litter box:

He can dig all he wants and it stays in the box. The stairs also seem to catch most of the litter they would normally track put.
You should think about getting a roomba, it helps with any litter that gets put and picks up the massive amount of fur they seem to always be shedding!

It's available through Amazon's free shipping, and the one on your wishlist isn't. People on here seem to prefer the Prime shipping, usually.
There are a few solutions to this.
One, you can install a baby gate across the doorway of the bathroom. They make baby gates with cat doors, like this one: https://www.chewy.com/carlson-pet-products-extra-wide-walk/dp/54889?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=Carlson%20Pet%20Products&utm_term=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI64mz9pmA5QIV-_7jBx1yLg30EAkYASABEgLD8vD_BwE
So you can leave the cat door open but your dog won't fit through (assuming he isn't a tiny dog).
You can also, if you think your cat will tolerate it, switch to a covered litterbox. I use one like this: https://www.amazon.com/Petmate-Booda-Clean-Litter-Colors/dp/B0002DH8LE/ref=asc_df_B0002DH8LE/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167144469268&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=236664198740175006&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9015332&hvtargid=pla-277741464402&psc=1
It contains the smell MUCH better than open litterboxes and a dog won't fit up the steps. My cat isn't fussy about her box and will use open or closed ones, so test that out on your cats.
There are also a variety of top entry litterboxes (e.g. https://theidlecat.com/best-top-entry-litter-box/) that you might want to experiment with.
One of the things we invested in was [Buddha boxes](Petmate Booda Dome Cleanstep Cat Box, Brushed Nickel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002DH8LE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_vLWhzbS77RSYV). It's a litter box shaped like a dome with an opening only big enough for a cat. It has a filter on top to helo with smell! Litter boxes are in the bathrooms with flushable litter. Just scoop once a day and flush it!
As for hair and throwing up, it sounds like stress. You're stressed out, baby is stressed out, cat is stressed out! Our cats get this way whenever they see moving boxes :( We switched to Authority brand cat food, specifically the brand for stomach issues/hair balls. That and lots if brushy posts/scratchers! I'd also make sure there is a space/room where the cats go that little feet can't! That way they have a calm space where they can relax.
Stressed/mean cats are no fun, so no wonder you don't like them right now! They may not like you for bringing a little typhoon into their house :P If the problems persist, you may want to think about rehoming them :( It sucks, but it might be best for all involved.
Me and you are in the same boat! As of about 2 weeks ago, one of my siamese (I have 2) has started pooping right outside the litter box. The litter box is in a cabinet, so literally he or she is pooping 2 steps away from the actual box. The cats are only 5 so getting in and out of the box isn't the issue. I'm wondering if mine has to do with the fact that I had to throw away a scratch post that one of my cats loved. The one cat will only use a carpet scratch post whereas the other cats likes the rope (I still have that one). I cleaned my litter box yesterday (soap, water, the whole works). Within 12 hours, poop outside the box! So I know cleanliness isn't the issue. I'm seriously wondering now if it's because she's frustrated with having nothing to scratch on? I'm also wondering if it could be from the new baking soda deodorizer I'm using. I guess I'll have to hide that at the bottom of the litter until it runs out and see if that solves it.
Honestly, it's a guessing game. I'm going down a list basically. New scratch post. New litter mat. Different deodorizer. New litter box. Different litter.
I'm going to go through each one of those until something works. Since your cat is older, I'd definitely wonder if his mobility wasn't effecting him getting in the box. They have a cute little box with stairs if that is the issue.
I'm also taking the person's advice below of cleaning as best I can the spot where the cat has been going to eliminate the smell. I will say though, I took out the litter mat which the cat had been going on and it didn't fix the issue. They just went directly on the cabinet instead, so I'm not sure about the whole being able to smell where they went previously since it was a waterproof mat, so I wouldn't think there would have been a big smell. But I'm going to try to get rid of any smell regardless.
ETA: litter box
You say import fees are $4.45, so shipping is $181.69? Have you checked by actually going to checkout to see if the shipping is really that high instead of being just a display bug on the product page?
In case it is helpful for comparison, for me to Finland it shows $35.99 + $82.10, with the shipping being $59.24 and Import Fees Deposit being $22.86, and that seems consistent with shipping rates to Finland, as $12.99 + 10.3 lbs * $4.49/lbs = $59.24.
So the issue seems to not be universal as I'm seeing the correct rate. Maybe it is specific to Canada.

Yeah, that's my reaction too. [Here's] (https://www.amazon.com/Petmate-Booda-Cleanstep-Brushed-Nickel/dp/B0002DH8LE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492999953&sr=8-1&keywords=booda+dome) what it looks like, just to complete your mental image.
Just unscented Fresh Step (not that my cat cares too much if it's scented, but the smell of the scented litter everywhere drives me crazy). Some of the odor is also trapped by the litter box we use.
I use one of these for my cat:
