Can you use the existing shower drain for a pedestal sink and do you need a trap for the sink since there is already a trap in the floor?

No and yes. Amendment (not from a professional plumber!): If you were simply running the sink drain into the shower drain and if there was not a reduction in pipe size, I would think you would be able to do that. I think the reason you need a trap for the sink has to do with code that requires a trap be no more than 24" from the basin to the trap arm. That being said, the pedestal sink in my house does not have a trap until after it drains below the floor.

Does a shower need a trap and how and where is the trap located?

Yes, a shower needs a p-trap. If there is no p-trap installed then the sewer gasses have a clear path into your home. Any drain in your home needs a p-trap so there is standing water to block the gasses from floating through your drain and I to your house.Improved answerA trap does NOT have to be always "P" trap There are running traps J traps , LA traps depending on the application ..
