One day you're going to step out of your shower and your foot is going to go through the floor. Or you're going to fill the bathtub and IT'S going through the floor. I have a feeling you let this go for too long. You might have some major structural repairs to make which would include removing the tub. Hard to say without looking at it. I would take care of it as soon as possible. Have it looked at by professionals. Get a few bids for repairs. See if your Homeowner's Insurance will cover it...

Spend the money, buy tilebacker board for there and spring for ceramic tile. This bathroom must be all crappy looking anyway. Plastic tile? That has to be 40 years old or more. Splurge on a new vanity, toilet and tub with a real valve body not a shower hose on a bracket. New casings, floor tile, medicine cabinet and lighting, too.

It looks green, so it often gets called "greenboard." Once the sheetrock is patched, prime it and paint it with paints that are meant to be used in damp areas. If you're not sure which paint to get, go to a hardware store or Home Depot/Lowes and tell them your paint requirements. They'll fix you up with a paint that's suitable for a bathroom.

Use a utility knife to cut it back to the tile, and pry it out with a hammer. Then buy moisture tolerant drywall and cover that with a barrier. You can install the shower head before the barrier and then put up the barrier. Use a screw gun and screws to put the dry wall into place. My suggestion is to replace it.
