Does a washer drain require a trap?
Yes. Unless it is going to a laundry sink (like in a basement) That is how they did it back in the twentys,thirtys and fourtys in oklahoma. There are still alot like that today.
What would cause the sink to 'cough' when the washer is running?
IF your toilet sink and washer are on the same waste line, which they probably are, the problem is't a short trap. Actually since your washer, toilet and sink have different traps it shoudn't effect anything. The problem probably comes from the washer being what is called a "sudds producing fixture". The sudds produced by your washer can actually go up either your toilet or sink waste line. By code the waste for your washer should be tied in to the sewer main 6' from where your waste line goes up for your bathroom. The only solution is to redo the piping from the sewer main and move your waste line for the washer. it won't harm anything. The worst thing that could happen is you'll get suds out of the drain in the sink

Can you use a garden hose to hook up a laundry sink I got a 1 to 2 splitter for my washing machine hose hookup I want to hook up a laundry sink from this connection can it be done?
Yes it can be done but I would never recommend it. Its not to hard to tee off to the lines before your washer outlets and run new water lines (using pex) to your laundry sink with stops and plus you wouldn't have the trouble of hooking a garden hose fitting to both hot/cold 1/2 thread fittings. If you use a garden hose for any inside water lines your chances of flooding out your home are real high.
