Is it possible to drop something into my toilet going down the building's main and clog one other toilet on the floor below me?
If on the same pipe yes it is
What is wrong if the sink and the bathtub will drain but the toilet wont flush?
The toilet itself is plugged or the pipe from the toilet to the drain is plugged. It may be that the tub and sink have their own drain pipe that may connect to the main away from the toilet drain. Plunge the toilet or sometimes if you fill a 5 gallon bucket with water and pour it into the toilet as fast as it will take it, that will flush out the line. It is a greater amount of water all at once an forces out what the clog is.
Can you flush a toilet when the sink is clogged?
Of course as water seeks its own level thus the toilet is NOT effected by a fixture above it. Unless the clog is in the main pipe and not in the sink itself. You can generally tell if this is the case if other items such as the bathtub are seemingly clogged as well.
How can you fix a clogged toilet that runs in the bathtub?
It's not the toilet, there's a blockage in the pipes some where after the drain pipe from the toilet joins up with the drain pipe from the tub.You're going to need to have the pipe snaked.
What type of profession will help unclog a clogged toilet?
A plumber will unclog a blocked toilet. Due to the expense of calling a plumber you would be advised to try and clear the blockage yourself using a plunger or a plumbing snake to push the blockage through the toilet outlet.( A plumbing snake can be fashioned from a wire coat hanger). Another way to clear a clogged toilet is with baking soda and vinegar which is added to the toilet bowl and can help to clear blockages. If the toilet is clogged by a blockage that has occurred in the pipe work to the sewers then you will have to employ a plumber to solve the problem.

Will flushing food down the toilet clog the pipes?
Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. You're taking chances if you do. Same as putting a bunch of paper towels down the toilet. Usually the toilet will back up and overflow before the lines will clog as the p-trap built into the toilet is smaller than the diameter of the sewer pipe.
