The toilet fills with water when flushed but the tub right next to it
drains fine. I ran a short snake into the toilet and didn't seem to do
anything. We also get lots of bubbles into the toilet when draining
the tub which really worries me!

It is clogged, just a question of where. Perhaps a longer snake is needed,
or some pressure from a plunger.

A toilet plunger. Not a flat sink plunger.
