Are these studs enough to attach the drywall with, or do I need to install another crossbeam? There will be tiles on the drywall later.
If I now press the drywall I have cut to size into the space. Spackle the seams and put that paper tape in the wet spackle. The same on the other seams higher up. Then spackle again. Or should I prime with something else?
A fan will hang on the drywall later, possibly with tiles behind or just below.
At Bauhaus, he recommended some kind of fire-resistant mortar on the drywall since it is behind the stove. But I'm not sure if he was informed.
I'm lost in the construction but trying to do it myself.
When you say "behind the stove," do you mean a cooking stove, like an induction hob, or a wood stove - basically a fireplace? It makes a big difference in what you should place behind it depending on which one you mean

No, a regular ceramic hob stove in the apartment. What the guy at Bauhaus recommended was instead of some fire-resistant gypsum board. Because they didn't have it. I got the feeling they weren't very knowledgeable.

No goodness - you don't need fireproof mortar and a fireboard.
Your plan feels good. Just go for it. Whether you want any crossbeam mostly depends on if anything needs to go up on the wall there (socket or the like), so you have something to screw into.
Yes, attach horizontal boards, studs, plywood strips, or whatever you have in the horizontal seams on the drywall.
You absolutely don't need fireproof mortar; use regular tile adhesive if you're going to tile.

Your plan seems good. Just go ahead. If you want any crosswise rule, it mostly depends on if something will be put up there on the wall (an outlet or similar) so you have something to screw into.
I hope I didn't buy the wrong drywall, it was actually for ceilings with some bevelled edge, but I thought I'd turn it inward towards the stud. 13 mm thick, which seems to be standard on all boards. (The old drywall is 15 mm).
It's my son who's helping me, but I'm more meticulous about getting it right.

There is 15mm plasterboard, if you're going to tile the wall, you probably need to fill out 2mm to make it even with the rest.
There is 15mm gypsum, if you're going to put tiles on the wall, you'll probably need to spackle out 2mm so that it is even with the rest.
They didn't have it at Bauhaus. Otherwise, I’ll have to go somewhere else again.
But from what I understand from your answer, I can spackle out the remaining 2 mm a bit extra just there?

Add 2 mm more adhesive when you tile, much easier than plastering a whole board.
I won't be tiling myself, but will let the craftsmen do it. Haven't decided if I should have like 2-3 rows of tiles or go all the way up to the ceiling.
I assume they'll apply the adhesive. But the wall needs to be even before. A carbon filter fan will be hung above the stove. Just trying to cut down on the cost a bit.
