Can a toilet overflow due to overstuffing cause the feed line to break within the wall? Or would a broken feed line within the wall cause the toilet to overflow?

No to both questions! If you have a leak in the wall it will be caused by the line itself. If the toilet overflowed it's caused by a blockage, either in the toilet itself, in which case you would use a closet auger, (see image) to clear it or in the branch, in which case the toilet will have to come up and the branch snaked. However, If nothing else overflowed but the toilet I would suppect the closet auger to clear it. A closet auger may be purchased at most hardware stores.Good luck, TomQuote:
