Wow, you're taking on a massive project heading for failure if not done right. There needs to be a "Y" connection from the base of the main waste stack, then a "C" joint for the toilet in the new line you're installing. Get a professional to install if you don't know what you're doing.
Wow. That was more information than what you wanted. It is common that at some point drainage pipes are attached to one made of another material. I think you are wondering if it will catch all the sewage around the connection. More importantly is the size of the drains and to make sure that there is proper venting. If the company you are using is certified and you have a building permit, they will have to build it up to code. Don't pay until it is done. Good luck!
Yep. PVC is a standard for plumbing now a days. Wish it was around in the past. Connecting PVC to existing cast iron pipe will pose no problems at all. PVC actually is better because it doesn't rust/corrode, allows water and solids to flow easier, Less chance of blockage due to smooth insides.
PVC is definitely the way you want to go these days.
