Could an unleveled toilet flange be the cause for a toilet leaking water from the tank?

An "unlevel" toilet flange might be a little difficult for a wax ring to seal, but could not in any way be responsible for a tank leak. If the tank is leaking between the tank and bowl, remove the tank, check the tank itself for a crack or defect, then check the flange gasket and tank bolts and gaskets. How do you know your flange is unlevel?

What would cause an upstairs toilet ball cock to start bobbing up and down of its own accord?

The flush valve (flapper) is leaking slightly, lowering the water level in the tank. To see if the flapper is leaking, put some food coloring in the tank and see if the color shows up in the bowl. This means the flapper is leaking by. Do not flush toilet for a while to see if the food coloring shows up in the bowl

What is wrong whenWater is running on the floor but toliet is not leaking anywhere?

Your question isn't very clear. Toilet must be leaking somewhere. Shut off valve, supply line, the seal between the tank and the bowl or the wax ring underneath the toilet. In warm weather, the tank can sweat if the water filling it is cold in high humidity. It pretty much has to be one of these places.
