Build it up and feather it in....

I'm far from an expert but I'd sand down the textured side a couple inches over (far enough to get a good smooth joint), mud and tape the joint, then texture over everything to match the existing wall.

Your texture is pretty fine, won't cause much trouble. I would put a batch of hot mud on the low side to even up a bit, then bed the tape with more hot mud, then Another coat of hot, then topping or all purpose. I've never done a drywall job that didn't need any sanding.

Shims would have helped a bit.

The entire trick to finishing seams is good, tight knife work. A 6" to bed the tape followed by an 8" for your feathering. Sometimes I will use a 12" trowel to really feather it out. When you look at a drywall knife edgewise, you will see a slight bow to the blade. This bow is your friend, I will put a notch or similar on the handle that I can feel with muddy hands so the belly of the bow always faces out. This leaves just a smidge more mud in the center of the seam and levels out better.
You will also discover a large, damp sponge can save you A LOT of sanding. Just make it damp, not wet and once the mud is dry using light pressure you can use it just like a sanding block as long as your knife work was tight. Rinse the sponge frequently. A sanding block is still needed though for sins.
Another advantage to the sponge is you can almost eliminate Topping compound, the sponging fills smaller pin holes pretty darn well and sanding topping compound sucks.
A Butterfly will make inside corners much easier.
