1.) "The opening in our bathroom for the vanity is 47.75 inches."

Is that a wall to wall opening? No space on either side of vanity before the enclosing walls?

2.) "It looks like the former owner cut a standard 49" to size, so it must be possible."

Did he cut the ends accurately and clean to butt up precisely with the walls? If not did he cover any nicks and imperfections with side splashes? If so, have you removed and looked under the side splashes?

3.) Does the current vanity have a built in backsplash? Do the tops you're looking at have a built in backsplash and optional side splashes?
