How far can you move a toilet from the stack while still maintaining proper plumbing functionality?
The maximum distance a toilet can be moved from the stack while still maintaining proper plumbing functionality is typically around 6 to 10 feet. Beyond this distance, there may be issues with proper drainage and venting. It is important to consult a professional plumber to ensure the toilet is properly relocated.
Can I place a shower where a toilet currently is and visa versa and are waste sizes the same and if so can I connect new stack to existing in attic?
The toilet is 3 or 4 inch and the shower is 1 1/2 or 2 inch. You could reduce the toilet to 2 inch, but it would never flush correctly or be of much use. The current toilet drain has no trap in that section because one isn't needed. The toilet itself is the trap. If you are using existing waste lines, they should already be connected to the vent stack. If you are adding lines, connecting to the existing stack is fine as long as it is above the last drain.

Double-stack system in drainage?
A double stack system is where you have the main soil stack to carry away toilet waste (Generally). With a separate pipe taking waste water from a Shower/Bath/Basin to an outside gully leading to a sewage drain (maybe via guttering on your property). Not a common system on new builds but still found on pre 60's plumbing.
Can the roof venting of a toilet be upstream of the toilet flange?
Most of the time they are. Depends on how far of course. Usually, the toilet is by the main stack so it only has to go the 12 to 16 inches to get to the drain. The main stack goes through the roof for the vent for the whole house or the bath and laundry. As long as the toilet is getting venting from somewhere, it should still flush.
