Left hand traffic. You sided step a bit to the RIGHT of final. That
is on the opposite side of the runway to downwind.

No safety issue.


Towered field. The pattern is whatever ATC says it is. There could be left
hand traffic or right hand traffic or both simultaneously.



Steve, perhaps you feel that ATC is faultless but that would be an
inorrect assumption. Anyone who blindly follows ATC without
exercising proper pilot responsibilities may become a statistic.


I'm well aware that ATC is not faultless, I've witnessed many ATC errors.
But nothing in the scenario under discussion here suggests any hazard from
properly following ATC's instruction to go around. What some here don't
seem to appreciate is the potential hazard in blindly violating an ATC
instruction.
