What is causing the toilet bowl to slowly empty after it fills and after the water tank fills?

the toilet bowl will fill the bowl to a specific level to allow the trap to work properly and once the tank is done filling then you should have no water running into the bowl. To test and see if your tank is leaking into your bowl just put a few drops of food coloring in your filled tank and if you see the color in your bowl then you most likely have a leaky flapper or flush valve or can be your height of your tank water is to high and its running through the overflow or the fill valve is syphoning.

∙ 16y agothis is because some people do big amounts of poo and flush lots of toilet paper down the drain the flusher can not hold this amount of waste so when you flush the toilet it gets stuck and slowly rotts away

This is likely due to a slow leak in the tank. The water in the tank slowly seeps into the bowl, eventually causing the bowl to fill up. This could be caused by a worn flapper valve, a worn fill valve, or a cracked tank.

Usually followed by complete blockage later!

When flushing the toilet the bowl fills back up with water but then slowly escapes till bowl is almost empty What would cause this?
Drain is getting plugged or the sewer line is plugged or collapsing. You can try giving it a good plunging or take a 5 gallon bucket of water and pour it into the bowl just as fast as it will take it. This is a much larger volume of water than normal and will sometimes flush out the line.
Can a running toilet effect the hot water heater?
Usually not. If toilet has a mixing valve going to it so warm water fills toilet tank and toilet runs constantly, then enough warm water could leak out through toilet to possibly have an effect on water heater.
