I will be building a non-load-bearing interior wall to separate the laundry room and bathroom. We recently cast the floor on which it will be built. (It turned out rough and beautiful.) The wall will be attached to the existing wall upwards and on one side. On the other side, I will mount a door frame. I've drilled a bit to insert rebar downwards. I thought about making a few similar arrangements in the existing wall. I thought it might increase stability a bit? Do you think that's enough? There won't be anything particularly hung there. At most, someone might fall into the wall.

The same type of stone as in the wall? You are thinking right with iron at the bottom. It should also be on the side. Have you used anchor compound for these? It's good that they are firmly in place. Similarly, for the holes in the stone, you can advantageously drill in a larger dimension and fill with anchor compound. This way, you have some leeway to move the stone and the hole doesn't need to be exact. Will the wall also be plastered?

Haven't attached the rebar yet. Can secure with anchoring compound. Planning to have it on the side as well. I'm a bit unsure about the name of the stone. Can check this. (Especially unsure about the existing slightly darker gray ones.) We will eventually tile the walls, but unsure if we will tile all the way up. Not all decisions are made.
 
If it is the stone seen in the image, it is called lecablock. What I am wondering a bit about is what it is mortared with. Is the material on the wall easy to sand, porous, or hard?
 
Lecablock that too, I think? Haven't sanded.
 
I was thinking about what it is built with. Is the material porous or hard?
 
Sorry for being quiet. The dishwasher broke down, so there was a pause. The wall is built, and we hope it turned out well enough... Thanks for the replies
