Generally 4" soil pipes are used for the runoff of toilet waste. A 4" waste pipe has got to be installed to the back of a toilet. Toilets are made with standard outlet of 4 inches, thus ensuring that a 4" pipe is installed because a sewer line in the main line is 4 inches, and it makes no sense in reducing the pipe to three inches, only to have to enlarge it again so that it can join up to the main line. The reason for it being 4 inches is to prevent blockages, because a vast amount of water is running through the pipe along with toilet paper and sewer, so reducing the line will increase your chances of a blockage.

Is it due to the size of the toilet or just the bad installation if the water tank of the new toilet is about 2 inches away from the wall?
Probably it is due to the size of the toilet tank. If the toilet is a low flow, or under 2 gallons per flush, the tank will be considerably smaller than an older toilet tank, which might hold as much as 25 gallons. The only critical thing in istalling a toilet is if the drain pipe lines up with the drain opening. Unless you move the toilet drain, the new toilet is going to sit in the same place. If you have a gap between the wall and the tank, you might want to put a block of wood or something to help anchor the tank. Newer tanks are smaller due to the reduced water need with the current flushing technology.
Is the base of an ADA toilet the same size as the standard toilet or I guess the real question is would I have to change the hole in the floor for the ADA toilet?

Most toilets are 12 inches from the back wall to the center of the drain. Older ones, before 1940 or so were 14 inches and I have come across a few odd ones that are 9 inches.
