Some of the older plumbing systems used a "P-trap" that resembled a large diameter vertical pipe with an entry on one side lower than the exit on the other side. You will never get a snake through this one. On a newer system you can run the snake in through the stopper mechanism to get past the 90 degree joint at the tub drain.

With everything plugged it appears that you have a blockage further downstream so it affects everything, all devices, upstream. Probably the pipe to the septic tank is plugged or the septic tank is plum full.

Our first house was very old and it had what appeared to be a big cement mixing tub placed upside down over a gravel filled pit. The sewage drained into the tub and filtered out through the gravel. Sure surprised us when we dug it up as it had worked that way for quite a few years.
