Mom swears that that orange was not there when this install went in..

No signs of iron in the water or rust from any other sources.

The grout has a yellow tinge to it that she say was always there. Can tiles bleed?

Iron--rust
In marble, prob from within. Not best marble for wet area
No reasonable fix

Grout. Looks like typical hard water
Try 40 volume HP
