Looking for low profile door hardware.

depending on the brand of hardware you choose you may be able to use one
side of a passage lock and a thumb turn from a deadbolt on the inside.

Offsetting the knob hight is out of the question ?

Check out a locksmith shop. I have seen flat lever type
handles in a similar set up between motel rooms where
there are two doors set up as you describe, so the hardware
does exist. A locksmith would either have, or could get,
what you need.

First thought that comes to mind would be a bail handle that can be
folded out and turned.
