However this is not what I would expect a walking bass line to look like. The only bit that looks like walking bass is the C to C# to D. Maybe this is an early step in the process.

This indeed pretty early in the process and the book is having us crawl before walking, then running.
What you said about the exercise seeming OK to you loses me. I'm hoping to understand if within the bounds of the I, V walking bass line and the leading tone being the 7th of the upcoming chord, is what I have as a "??" is correct. The root being re-stated has never been mentioned. That may be taught further down the road, I don't know.
I thank you for your answer though.
