hi,most electrical showers will only produce a light spray as the temperature of water is proportional to the flow through the shower head ie the harder the flow the cooler the water.
As the temp of water drops in winter the shower has to work even harder to raise temp so generally will get worse,will get better in warmer months though,a higher kw shower might help if triton is faulty but will never become a power shower,a pump wouldn,t help either,a full change of system is only guaranteed solotion.

Electric showers do have a pitiful flow rate.
A pump wouldn't help at all, cleaning the shower rose might.
If you are in a hard water area the innards of the shower could well be scaled up too.

Depends on the type of boiler you have. If you have a balanced flue boiler and it is below the level of the shower, then the hot water has very little power. The only way to overcome this is to re-site the boiler to a higher level. If you fit a pump to assist your shower, then the pump will move the hot water quicker than the boiler can heat it.

try using a shower head with less holes,some can be adjusted,if you do go for a pump,make sure you get one fit for the job,a plumber would need to fit it.
have you checked to see where this is fed from?.normally the cold supply to the bath is the best

have a look inside the pipe and shower head they maybe furred up which will slow the flow
also attach a magnet to the main feed to your house this will help break up any calcium build up
