So, before water runs into your hallway through the door, it would already need a heavy downpour. Presumably, the tiler also worked in a slope away from the door so that water can drain off.
Again. The door, as you yourself write, presses with a rubber seal against the tile edge that serves as a stop. Thus, the tightness is ensured. It should be at least somewhat airtight.
If the floor height of the hallway and staircase were at the same level, the door would not seal at all. Neither against water nor against air.
You do not have a thermally separated door threshold made of aluminum like modern doors. What the tiler did is perfectly fine.
And when you install a new door, there will be a door threshold that fits exactly to the tile level of the stairs. The new door would then close against the new door threshold in the same way. You can just google it.
