Never done any plumbing and looking for some guidance on my first DIY plumbing project. Putting a new bathroom in my attached garage bonus room on the second floor. Attached is a plan view and a cross section for how I think the drain rough in might be done. I have the sink drain attaching directly to the vertical stack with a sanitary reducing tee(2"x2"x1-1/2") and I'm wondering if I can use the 2" sink drain line as as vent line for the toilet or do I need to run another vent line from a location between the toilet and 3"x 2" wye to the 2" sink vent and connect it above the sink level? It seems like I want a cleanout at the end of the 2" line and also on the 1st floor after the vertical transitions to horizontal. Can the toilet function as a cleanout point for the 3" waste line or does that need it's own cleanout? Also, if I can use the sink drain as a vent, do I connect to the 3" toilet line with a wye rolled up (as shown) or with a T that has the 2" line entering the 3" on top of the 3" pipe? Thank you for any help anyone can offer.

That works for me.
The 2" through the roof vents the toilet and the lav.
The lav drains into the 3" line with a wye fitting. A combo is a wye and and a 45 together.
On the vertical, the santee is the correct fitting. 2" x 1.5" santee. That's 2" on the top and bottom, 1.5" on the side.

Thanks for the quick reply. Is it ok to just roll that 3x2 wye up and use a small angle bend to drop the 2" into the 3" or does that need a T?
