where were the escape ladders for the watertight doors in the boiler rooms located and where did they go?

The escape ladders led to the catwalks above, which led up to E-deck where the long working passageway, nicknamed Scotland Road, was located. There were six doors, one of each boiler room, leading to the passageway.

Here's a view looking up to the skylights above the machinery spaces in Mauretania, another of the ladder leading up from QE's machinery spaces, an upper level in Mauretania (turbine cover lifting gear) and an unknown ship (possibly Oceanic) with spiral staircases. All merchant ship compartments are open at the top.

Even the engine room staircases were elegant in those days!

an unknown ship (possibly Oceanic) with spiral staircases.

I can confirm that the ship in question is indeed the RMS Oceanic (II, 1899), which is one of my favourite ships. The picture is H336 as taken by Robert Welch, Harland and Wolff's personal photographer. It shows the transverse watertight bulkhead that separated the two triple expansion engines from one another, due this the fifth and sixth engineers were assigned to one of the two sides.
