So the ejector pump in the basement is sucking the water out of the toilet and most likely the shower. The fix seems to be connect the drain of the pump directly to the 3" main. Is this correct? If so, would the double wye pictured second to last be the way to go or have two separate 3"x 2" connectors one on top of the other?

The toilet needs a vent, and so does the lav and the shower.
Also the sewage ejector pump and basin needs a vent. None of that is shown.
Also, you have the wrong type of coupling going from cast to plastic. There should be a metal wrap on that to prevent the pipes from shifting over time.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
