Why would the water drain from the tank but not flush or suck the water down through the toilet bowl when you flush?

Do the rest of the fixtures in the bathroom drain well? If they do not drain well, my guess would be the venting of the Plumbing system. If all of the other fixtures in the bathroom drain well, then there is probably something in the trapway of the toilet. Assuming it is just the toilet that is having problems, then a closet auger might do the trick. Hope it helps.

When you flush your toilet the water rises in the bowl and the stuff doesn't flush away What is wrong?
The main drain is plugged. You may need to remove the toilet and snake directly down the drain.
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.

What could cause a toilet to lose suction power and sometimes not even take down the water?
Home toilets do not use "suction power" to flush. The inertia of the water falling from the tank when you flush pushes water through the trap and down the drain. If there is any significant amount of blockage in the drain, the water will not be able to move at enough velocity to get past the trap. In other words, if the drain is blocked, water can't flow fast enough to flush. You'll need to get the drain cleaned out to make it flush.

The sewer line is plugged or collasped. The sink and bathtub may drain because they drain at a slower rate. Toilet is all at once and the drain can't handle it. Water has to go somewhere so it backs up in the sink and tub.
