a solar tube might be what you need. I had one installed at house no. 1. Gave off so much light my friend who was up to visit wanted to know where the light switch was. Big box diy carried them. From the inside it looks like a regular light fixture.
Should work... AND there will be no electricity above an area that has water... the two do not mix well... and the old fan would probably not meet building codes today.
You do need an exhaust fan in your bathroom to help with the moisture. I haven't seen any exhaust fans that were made to be installed in a shower, so yes, get that out of there. I have installed this fan in about 12 bathrooms already. It's really awesome.

As for a skylight, you really have to be careful. When put in an existing roof, they tend to leak, no matter who puts them in.
Think long and hard about putting a hole in your roof. Gaskets dry out and will leak and the heat may be more intense than you anticipated.
I have bathroom that is about 60 years old. No exhaust fan when built, still one. Paint is great, no problems. But a sky light not a good idea.
