You have a partial blockage downstream of where the shower drain & the sink drain join into one pipe. You could try a thin plumber's snake, or add some drain cleaner, some bleach, or vinegar. About a liter of vinegar is the safest and should work well enough.

Is the sink overflow made to prevent the sink from overflowing even if the drain stopper is down and the water if fully on?
In my experience, I would say no. Several reasons can prevent the overflow from working. Since the overflow of the sink is rarely used it has a tendency to be blocked at the lower portion where the sink joins the drain pipe. During normal use and over years the holes in the sink drain at the point where the overflow and drain pipe meets has a tendency to clog making the overflow drain slowly. You can notice this when your sink drains with a "gulping" sound. You can test the overflow drain and see how obstructed it is, but do it slowly and do not turn on the faucets on full.
