Katana edge placement is fine. You're seeing the follow through of an attack.

Sword would have started up above his right shoulder, then was swung in a downward slicing motion ending at his left him. The front edge of the katana would have been in the right place for that.

Other stuff is off, but that's proper.

I guess that could be it. To be it looked like he was about to attack in an upward motion but your take is equally possible

You'd need a different grip on the sword if itbwas supposed to be an upward attack.

Ok yes I just did the motion and you are right. Hand position indicates attack right to left. I stand corrected
