Door eased on Friday, sticking again today

Given the amount of rain we've had recently (and the fact that it's in a bathroom) it's hardly surprising that it's picked up excess humidity if left unsealed.
Ease it again and then seal the open edges straightaway.

By seal do you mean paint? Does that include the base of the door because that would need to be done while it wasn't hung presumably?

Yes: primer, undercoat, etc.
To do it properly you need to seal all the edges.

The door should have been fitted with at least 6mm clearance at the bottom. I usually leave a little more than that.
Having left that sort of clearance , there should be no need to paint/seal the bottom edge.

Would you normally trim (plane?) the top or bottom of the door or both?

Plane only the bottom . All doors can withstand a small amount of trimming.
If you still have the packaging it usually tells you the maximum amounts that can be removed on each edge.
