How to fix the battens though? I want to avoid making holes in the cladding. Maybe masking tape and super glue could work, although it could be disastrous if it failed mid cut.

yeah, you want to make sure it's fixed securely.
Maybe leave the two end pieces of cladding off to give you somewhere to fix the guide Then mark and cut the last pieces by hand off the wall.hmm, thinking about it, it would probably flex too much over any real length

The answer is almost always clamps.. You might have to get creative with clamp placement though.

Where did you end up getting your cladding from? Does it look decent - not to many warped etc.
-
are the boards tongue and grooved? can you put nails in the tongues between the boards so the holes are not visible afterwards?

I wouldn't worry. They'll go away after a few showers. You're not using massive screws for it anyway so the holes will be small.

just temp fix a batten (or 2) horizontally along the bottom, and use that as a saw guide?
