When drain water from one fixture comes back out another fixture, it means your blockage is beyond the point where those drains meet.
You need to get a good look at the topology of your waste plumbing, to get some ideas about where the blockage is. Clothes washer -> bathtub is a common symptom, because the clothes washer drains a lot of water up high (it has a pump) and the tub drain is down low.
Snaking down a drain is really hard, because of all the curves of the P-trap. If you're lucky, you have a clean-out somewhere, like under the house or behind a wall. Otherwise, you can try removing a P-trap to get the snake in, or removing a toilet. Removing a toilet is not very hard, but can be daunting.
We had a similar problem in this house. There were a few clean-outs accessible in the crawlspace, and our landlord used a hand-held snake in them, but didn't have much luck.
They hired a professional plumber. He pulled a toilet out and ran a huge snake down the drain (not one of the handheld units, but a huge, loud, floor-standing model heavy-duty cable). After running all 75' out, he borrowed another snake from his colleague, for 150' of snaking. This is a single-story house, on a 50'-wide lot, so the snake was well in to the street!
He said he pulled out a lot of roots. This is apparently common in older plumbing. They develop a small leak, and nearby plants grow after the nutrient-rich water, and find their way in to the pipe. It took him about 4 hours.
Plumbing is simple. There aren't a lot of rules to follow. Everything works in obvious ways. You don't need a lot of expensive, complicated tools, and if you do need something big, you can rent it. Anyone can fix plumbing.
But it can also be unpleasant. Screw-on connections may be rusted in place - hacksawing is often easier. There's the spectre of old poop and hair. Things may be difficult to reach - in a cabinet behind a sink basin or in a muddy crawlspace full of rat droppings.
If the job takes a few days, and you're unaccustomed to living without plumbing, it can be a trying time. Especially if there's a whole family in the house, and they aren't sympathetic. A pro will get the job done much faster, since they arrive with the right tools, parts, and experience.
There's a lot of instructions out there, on the internet, at the library, at the hardware store. If you decide to get your feet wet (get it? ha ha) then you will be able to find the information you need.
Around here the answer would be no. Our plumbing inspectors won't pass drain installations where a connection to a common drain line comes before the vent. The one exception would be the toilet, which can be wet vented to another fixture. The problem is that the air admittance valve is too small to vent the toilet, and the height of the toilet trap is above the height of the shower drain.
Keep in mind that local mileage on this stuff varies wildly, so I'd run it by your local inspector. Also, don't know if this is just a mistake in the diagram, but the wye connection to the cast iron pipe is upside down.
Best Answer
I can think of three solutions.
Raise the countertop
Increasing the height of the countertop, could give you enough height to install a proper drain. Though I'm guessing you won't want to redo the cabinets and countertops.
Modify the plumbing
Lowering the inlet in the wall would give you enough height for a proper drain, and is likely the most common solution. It looks like that may not be an option i your case, as it looks like that might be a concrete wall.
Install a basin pump
Drain the sinks into a basin, and then lift the waste water with a pump. SANIVITE® makes the SANIVITE®, which is designed for this type of install. I'm sure other companies offer similar products, so shop around to find one to meet your needs.
With this type of setup, you'll need a power source, and enough space to fit the basin.
Whatever you decide, the current plumbing definitely needs to go. All the pipe that's below the throat of the wall inlet, will be full of water. That means the trap seal is likely too deep, which will lead to frequent clogging and slow draining.
