What is an overflow in a bathtub?
Typically right under the faucet in a bathtub is a round metal piece with holes. This is an overflow outlet. It connects to the bathtub drain.

Does a tub overflow valve prevent ALL overflow?
AnswerIt may not, but it should. The International Residential Code gave this clarification: "Yes. An overflow is required to remove displaced water when a bather enters the bathtub or to protect against accidental flooding resulting from an unattended filling operation."Most tub drains lead to the same outflow pipe as the bottom drain, so if the pipe has a blockage, it will do no good. Also, the rate of flow of water into the tub can exceed the ability of the over-flow drain to keep up.
Is the sink overflow made to prevent the sink from overflowing even if the drain stopper is down and the water if fully on?
In my experience, I would say no. Several reasons can prevent the overflow from working. Since the overflow of the sink is rarely used it has a tendency to be blocked at the lower portion where the sink joins the drain pipe. During normal use and over years the holes in the sink drain at the point where the overflow and drain pipe meets has a tendency to clog making the overflow drain slowly. You can notice this when your sink drains with a "gulping" sound. You can test the overflow drain and see how obstructed it is, but do it slowly and do not turn on the faucets on full.
