Does water stay in the catch base of a sink?
Yes and no it does and does and doesnt.A2. The S-bend or the P-bend under the sink is intended to provide a water trap in the plumbing line. Otherwise sewer smells could enter your room.There also needs to be a vent to the air in the drain pipe between your sink and the sewer main. If this is obstructed, then the flow of water elsewhere in the system could suck the water out of the trap. This could get blocked by birds or excessive build-up of grease.

When you flush the toilet fills with water to the top then gushes down but water comes up in the sink and bathtub what causes this?
The sewer line is plugged or collasped. The sink and bathtub may drain because they drain at a slower rate. Toilet is all at once and the drain can't handle it. Water has to go somewhere so it backs up in the sink and tub.

What would cause the sink to 'cough' when the washer is running?
IF your toilet sink and washer are on the same waste line, which they probably are, the problem is't a short trap. Actually since your washer, toilet and sink have different traps it shoudn't effect anything. The problem probably comes from the washer being what is called a "sudds producing fixture". The sudds produced by your washer can actually go up either your toilet or sink waste line. By code the waste for your washer should be tied in to the sewer main 6' from where your waste line goes up for your bathroom. The only solution is to redo the piping from the sewer main and move your waste line for the washer. it won't harm anything. The worst thing that could happen is you'll get suds out of the drain in the sink
