you can't find the reference in elementary hig because at the first page it say to refer to gnome hig where no reference is available in elementary hig:

in gnome hig at this page: https://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/3.0/toolbars-appearance.html.en
where it say that "By default, have your toolbars appear directly below the main menu bar."
in this case there is now the classic main menubar (some elementary apps like pantheon-files just have it hidden) but i guess we can assume that the right position is at the top.

anyway i agree with you, as i mentioned some where else you may split the application:
proposal A:
1) foto to manage them and with a top toolbar
2) foto-previewer with botton toolbar and just basic functionality (back,next, fullscreen, presentation)

proposal B:
as you mention above change just the home/album view

but i add:
-kill the appmenu at the bottom in "picture" mode
-information may be shown in a popover menu to avoid to clutter the interface with too many info like it does here even if referred to another function:
