If it goes into a garbage disposal, the disposal needs cleaning. If it goes into a tube in the sink drain, check that for plugs. Is the drain hose open all the way, no kinks?

Do i need a tub for the washing machine to drain can't i just drain it into a drain pipe?
You can drain it directly into a drain pipe. Just make sure the the top of the drain pipe is even with the top of the washing machine. If not, the water from the washing machine will drain all of the time. There is no valve in the machine to stop the water from draining. The washing machine drains using a pump motor.

Both dishwasher and toilet are sharing the same outlet pipe/drain it is possible when disahwasher is in use it is blocking of the drain somehow so the toilet water has nowhere to go - you need to have a look at the outlet pipe of the toilet and dishwasher the problem lies in a conflict there.

Where does the vacuum breaker install in the drain line?
A vacuum breaker is usually installed at the top of a vertically-mounted drain pipe leading to a drain. The water drainage hose from an appliance such as a dishwasher or washing machine should never be plumbed directly into a drain stand pipe without a vacuum breaker. The vacuum breaker prevents contaminated water from the drain being sucked back into the appliance if it has a fault.

What is the proper way to cap off a drain pipe behind a dishwasher that you no longer use?
if it's plastic pipe you can just buy a glue cap and glue it on. If it's galvanized or cast iron pipe you can use a gym cap, (arubber cap that comes with a hose clamp). Just put that on the pipe and tighten it down firmly. this will prevent any sewer gas from coming out of the drain.
