Could an unleveled toilet flange be the cause for a toilet leaking water from the tank?

An "unlevel" toilet flange might be a little difficult for a wax ring to seal, but could not in any way be responsible for a tank leak. If the tank is leaking between the tank and bowl, remove the tank, check the tank itself for a crack or defect, then check the flange gasket and tank bolts and gaskets. How do you know your flange is unlevel?

How do you install a regular toilet flange on a cast iron 6 inch sewer pipe?
If you can get to the 6 inch cast iron, you could use a rubber coupler between the cast and the flange. If it is in the concrete, put a piece of 4 inch PVC inside the 6 inch and lead it in like you would a regular cast joint. Leave the 4 inch above the floor and slide the flange over it, screw it down and cut the 4 inch flush with the flange. They make just the flange that will slide over the pipe.
You put down a subfloor in your bathroom how do you set the toilet so it reaches the drain pipe?
Depending on how thick the subfloor is, you can use 2 wax rings and longer bolts. If it is too much for that or you are not comfortable with the idea, you could use another PVC toilet flange, screw it down to the floor with wax ring between it and the old flange. Once the toilet is set and bolted down, as long as there is a seal it will be alright. There isn't any real pressure from the flush to push the wax out if you double them up.

Can you fix a wobbly toilet seat?
Maybe. It will depend upon why the toilet is wobbly. It could be simply taking the little 'caps' on the base off and tightening up the bolts that are there. If one of the bolts is broken, you can replace the bolt, which would allow you to tighten it up. It it is because the floor is rotted out under the toilet, you would have to remove the toilet, replace the sub-flooring and reseat the toilet. Replacing the wax seal may also help. If the toilet seat ring on the sewer pipe is broken, it will take an experience plumber to replace it and set it up correctly.
