The toilet is 3 or 4 inch and the shower is 1 1/2 or 2 inch. You could reduce the toilet to 2 inch, but it would never flush correctly or be of much use. The current toilet drain has no trap in that section because one isn't needed. The toilet itself is the trap. If you are using existing waste lines, they should already be connected to the vent stack. If you are adding lines, connecting to the existing stack is fine as long as it is above the last drain.

Why does your shower leak once the toilet is flushed?
The drains for the shower, toilet and sink all connect to a common line. Assuming the toilet is not backing up, the problem indicates that there may be a partial blockage, enough so that some of the toilet flow is backing up through the shower drain line. You need plumbing repair. The shower leak you mention should only be in the shower, or else you have a broken drain line as well.
Why would a toilet back up into the shower?
A down line clog would cause this. The shower drain is lower than any other drain in the bathroom so it is the first to tell you of a clog in the line. Time to Roto Rooter! Y-THINK-Y The toilet and shower must have the same drain. There is a blockage somewhere after the toilet and shower drains meet. The backup takes the easiest route back which must be the shower drain. Try snaking out both drains. Start with the toilet. To do the best job, remove the toilet and start from floor level.
