  When I run water down my sink water comes up in the sink or tub down stairs

This happens when the two drain lines are tied together before they run into the main drain. When the drain gets clogged passed the lower fixture, the water from the upper fixture has no place to go so it backs up in the lower fixture. To solve this you will need to run a snake from the lower fixture to the main drain.
When I run my washing machine water backs up in the tub and my toilet bubbles.
This may be a local stoppage, or a main line stoppage, If you have a septic tank, it may be full. I know you want to try to fix this yourself, but you are much better off calling a Plumber and or a  septic contractor. This is why, 1, If your septic tank is full, there is nothing you can do, but have it cleaned, Septic tank cleaning.

 

 

 2, You may need a large powerful drain cleaning machine, running a machine like this is extremely dangerous, the snake can get stuck in the pipe, costing you thousand of dollars and damage to your home to remove it. Not to mention you may damage the pipe under the ground, or your septic tank. 3, the snake may go the wrong way in the pipe and destroy one of your toilet (I have destroyed a toilet) 4, You can spend the whole day fighting with this and still end up having to Find a Plumber
