This can be a complicated job as the toilet drain ranges from 3" -4" and a variety of materials from Plastic to cast iron to galvanized.
Then there is the venting to consider and NO a shower drain CANNOT be used for a toilet discharge as the shower drain is normally 2" diameter

Why does the water move around in one toilet when the other toilet is flushed?
This phenomenon is due to the interconnected plumbing system in the house. When one toilet is flushed, it creates a temporary change in pressure in the plumbing system, causing the water in the other toilet to move due to the pressure difference.
How much does it cost to move a toilet?
Depends in which direction, how far and if you can get at the drain from below. (ie in a basement) Give us some real facts and we will give a good answer.
How can you join your toilet to the drain when the rough in is only two inches?
If you mean from the back wall to the center of the drain. The minimum standard rough in is 10 " - 12". IN ADDITION: This is a construction fault. Either you need to re do the plumbing or move the toilet across until it fits. This type of problem is quite a nasty one to fix.
Can you convert a stand up shower to a tub?
By increasing the tub waste line to 2" instead of the normal 11/2" and by reworking the vent line so it is above the flood level of the fixture and installing a P trap under the shower pan
Is it due to the size of the toilet or just the bad installation if the water tank of the new toilet is about 2 inches away from the wall?
Probably it is due to the size of the toilet tank. If the toilet is a low flow, or under 2 gallons per flush, the tank will be considerably smaller than an older toilet tank, which might hold as much as 25 gallons. The only critical thing in istalling a toilet is if the drain pipe lines up with the drain opening. Unless you move the toilet drain, the new toilet is going to sit in the same place. If you have a gap between the wall and the tank, you might want to put a block of wood or something to help anchor the tank. Newer tanks are smaller due to the reduced water need with the current flushing technology.

Do they have a toilet for 18 center rough in?
I don't believe so. That is the old style with the tank mounted on the wall and a tube to the base. There is a floor flange with an offset in it that will move it back a couple of inches, but any more and you will need to change the drain or possibly build up the wall behind the toilet if it happens to be in a cut out.
