Hi, Would you list most common expression of have a pee & going to bathroom? including polite & impolite expression.
 
Informal (childish) term for urinating could be "wee wee" - It's pronounced like nintendo wii I suppose, but I am not a teacher.

Mummy! I need to go wee wee real bad!

Here you can find more examples :D
Urban Dictionary: wee wee
 
The verb in AmE is to piss. (Vulgar)
Also common is to take a leak.
 
Yes. Also take a crap.
 
I suggest that both "take a dump" and anything involving the word "crap" would be considered at least moderately vulgar.

As a cultural note, Americans tend not to talk about this at all. If you were with a friend and had do this, you wouldn't say so. You'd say something like "I need to use the restroom" or simply "Would you excuse me for a moment?"
 
Women will "powder their nose."

Sometimes men will "go see a man about a horse."
