Yes they sell a split repair flange, Should be able to locate at any Home Depot, Lowes or plumbing supply store.

Not familiar with this one, but Korky says they have a replacement flapper that will fit. I haven't seen a topilet that requires tank removal to replace the fill valve. https://www.amazon.com/Korky-57BP-Fits-Crane-Flapper/dp/B000M2W7WK

You have a main drain clog. The sinks are clogged too (run water and you will see it come up the tub). Is this a one floor house? Basement? You probably should call a plumber unless you are willing to take on the task of snaking it yourself. Sounds like you may have a house on a slab? (no basement)?

Here's a video I made on how I fixed that same problem on mine.

Sounds like the flapper isn't sitting properly. Take the lid off the tank and put a few drops of food coloring in it. Let it sit for a while (do not flush). If the water in the bowl turns that color, that means the flapper needs replacing. Simple to do and costs about 5 bucks. Good luck

There has to be either a nut and washer under the toilet, or if its reversed a bolt head with a washer under it holding it down. To remove it you can either use a hacksaw blade between the bowl and the bottom of the seat. Or use a dremel tool to slowly cut away the metal rod, etc., from the top. If using hacksaw put down some masking tape on the bowl so you don't scar up the enamel surfacr of the bowl. Work slowly and you will eventulaly cut through it.

The fill tube may have a crack in it. I am referring to the plastic tube where the water runs in from a small rubber tube connected to the fill valve to refill the bowl after you flush it also serves as an overflow tube in case the water level gets too high. a crack will allow water from the tank to run into the bowl bypassing the flapper. checks this and replace if necessary. hope this helps.

Check your over flow pipe in the tank to see if you need to lower the water level amount in the tank. If thats not it, it could be the seal thats under your flapper between the tank and base. Simple fix just alittle time consuming

The water level in the bowl is limited by the height of the internal trap down stream from the bowl. There is no adjustment possible. If the problem is odors, you can either flush more often, turn on the exhaust fan, or buy a different brand or model of toilet.

contact american standard or a local plumber wholesaler

Whether the bolts are nylon or brass, they all come loose after a while. The culprit is oversize holes in the china bowl. To solve the problem, go to the auto parts store and buy a short length of fuel hose, just large enough to slip over the toilet seat bolt. Cut two short pieces of hose off -- about 1/4 inch each -- with a sharp bread knife or utility knife. Fit the pieces of hose into the toilet seat mounting holes in the bowl. If the hose is too large, snip a small segment out of it to make it into a "C" shape, just large enough that the cut ends touch when inserted into the mounting holes. Install the seat as usual and snug up the nuts.

Once movement of the seat is prevented, the bolts tend to stay tight. I've performed this trick on a number of my own and friends' toilet seats and they've stayed put for 8-10 years with no signs of loosening, yet can be removed easily for maintenance and cleaning.

Use fuel hose, as it is durable and does not deteriorate with exposure to air. This trick won't work with electrical tape, duct tape or masking tape, as those materials are too soft and the adhesive cold-flows under pressure.
