What is the cause of sewer backup when all vents and drains and sewer lines are clear?
You may not have a backflow preventer in the main line. This prevents anything coming back from the main line. It may be coming from your neighbors above you on the line.
Why would both toilets in the house be overflowing when flushed?
The drain pipe has a blockage somewhere downstream from where the toilets are connected to the main sewer line from the house. All the drains in a house normally connect to one main line that either goes to the city sewer system or your septic tank. If you know where the sewer line exits the house, you could check there to see if the blockage is in the yard. Most sewer blockages are caused by tree roots, broken fittings, or crushed pipes. Good Luck

Can you rough in two drains to drain a double bowled sink?
The answer is yes but the question is "why". It would require twice the expense as the two drains would require double the work and pipe to eventually tap into the main sewer line. But the answer to the question is yes.

What is the problem when your commodes are flushing but the waste is getting stuck in the pipes?
Most likely there is a problem with the main drain. Tree roots can get into small cracks and plug the line, it can collapse or break. If it breaks, the ends can shift so that the opening is too small to drain properly. First thing is to have the drains cleaned with an auger. If the line cannot be cleared to the main sewer line or septic tank, measuring how far you get will let you know about where the problem is and the possible cause. If it is tree roots, where is the blockage in relationship to any trees.
