Can you use the existing shower drain for a pedestal sink and do you need a trap for the sink since there is already a trap in the floor?
No and yes. Amendment (not from a professional plumber!): If you were simply running the sink drain into the shower drain and if there was not a reduction in pipe size, I would think you would be able to do that. I think the reason you need a trap for the sink has to do with code that requires a trap be no more than 24" from the basin to the trap arm. That being said, the pedestal sink in my house does not have a trap until after it drains below the floor.

Does the kitchen sink need a P-trap with a disposal installed?
Yes. It prevents sewer gases from entering by way of the water trapped at the elbow. Gases need an upflow which is eliminated by the P-Trap. It's not a pee trap, it's a p-trap. Yes you do need a p-trap. The p-trap holds some water in the trap to hold back the sewage gas from coming up through the sink. IN ADDITION: A P-trap can be used to unblock or unclog small blockages either in the drain pipe exiting the trap or the trap itself, because it holds water, by covering the plug, it works the same way as a plunger does and by squeezing it continuously it forms a suction drawing or pushing blockages, freeing them and pushing them further down the line until it is clear. It is useful to know when a plunger is not at hand.
How far horizontally can a p trap be from a sink?
Infinite. It doesn't affect it at all. Vertical distance doesn't have an affect on a trap.
How do you get a ring out of a sink drain?
If you know that the ring has not flushed into the main line, remove the p-trap from under the sink. The ring will most likely be in there. The p-trap is the u-shaped section of the drain pipe.
