Can you vent air into a sewer vent pipe?
No. You vent air from a sewer line.

Where are your sewer vents?
A vent pipe is located afte a fixture trap to remove dangerous fumes from the system and exhauts them through the roof terminal as the fresh air enters through the fresh air inlet
How do you install an indirect drain to the main system to prevent possible sewage back-up into a 3 compartment sink?
You must maintain a 2" air gap from indirect waste to sewer waste. If sewage back up was the issue, I would recomend "directly" piping the 2 inch drain to the main sewage with a 2 inch normally closed backwater valve. If you piped an indirect drain you would not be protected from sewer back up. I assume this is for a sink perhaps in a basement?
Can you use a vent pipe for exhaust fan?
No, it won't carry the required amount of air. A vent is usually 1.5 inch and an exhaust is 4 or 5 inch.
How far must water travel in a one inch pipe to lose one degree in temperature?
We need to know more info. such as, is the pipe cooled, air or ground temp. around the pipe. what temp is the water.
When the washer drains it sucks the water out of the toilet?
Sounds like your washer doesn't have a connection to your "stack pipe". As water moves through a drain pipe, it creates a vacuum behind it, the "stack pipe" or "vent pipe" is usually a pipe that goes through the roof of your house and provides an open air connection to all of your plumbing fixtures so the vacuum is provided a way to suck air rather than sucking the water out of your "P" traps or other fixtures such as your toilet. Chances are your toilet is also "sucking" from your washer, but you just don't notice it. It is also dangerous because if the washer or other fixtures are sucking water out of your "P" traps, then you may be getting methane and other sewer gases into your house. Have a pipe run from washer drain to your vent pipe and this should eliminate the problem. Be sure it connects to the vent pipe because if you ever have a sewer backup, the vent system won't allow the gray water to empty into your house through the air pipe.
When an air gap is used what is the vertical distance between the supply pipe and the flood rim?
Two times the diameter of the supply pipe, but never less than 1 inch.
