  2. It doesn't. The direction of which way water drains is determined by the built of the toilet, or sink, or whatever, or mostly by chance. People believe this because if you turn the earth upside down, it would rotate the other way.

  3. When I first came across this "factoid" I was in elementary school.  The supposed answer was the Coriolis effect.  I put the effect to test the same day as I watched the water drain from the tub with great interest. I plugged and unplugged the drain several time, with a handful of results from one side, and a handful from the other. If I poked my finger in and stirred, the direction reversed;  It didn't matter which way it started, I could reverse it.  So I promptly quit worrying about it.

    That was some 40 years ago.  I've never been sucked into a drain since, regardless of which way it swirled.
