Why would a small pebble sink and an oil tanker floats?
Because a pebble is denser than water thus making it sink oil is not denser than water. you can test this by pouring some oil in a glass of water it floats on top of the water it doesn't sink it is the same theory with the oil tanker in the sea.
What happened to the valdez oil spill crew?
The Exxon-Valdez is an oil tanker. One of the storage compartments leaked oil when the tanker hit an underwater iceberg. The tanker did not sink, and crew members were evacuated.

How do you fix Negative pressure that prevents sink from draining?
You add a vent. There is an under sink vent available. It is a cap that is installed in the waste line as close to the sink as possible as long as it is above the level of the drain. It has a spring loaded lid that the suction from the water pulls open to allow air in to equalize the pressure.

What is the difference between a fully loaded oil tanker floating and an empty oil tanker floating?
The main difference is weight of course. When fully loaded, the ships airdraft is considerably reduced, as you can definitely see the ship is more 'in the water', or more immersed. When not loaded, or 'In ballast', the ship has several ballast tanks which are filled up with sea water in order to weigh the ship down a little, so as for it to not capsize with strong winds/rogue waves. And a ship's hull/bulbous bow, etc.. are designed to operate/navigate within a certain Loadline, hence the need to keep the ship immersed within certain parameters.
