Yeah, toilets is probably nonsense - it is observable with a full bath with a small plughole at a high lattitude though.
Not really, because on a disk Earth it would operate in the same direction on both sides of the equator. On our actual spherical Earth, it reverses.
OP's nonsense can also be refuted by taking a time exposure of the night sky with the South Celestial Pole in the picture. The stars will show circular paths centered on the South Celstial Pole. This would not be the case on OP's mythical disk Earth
