A toilet is the physical place where you do your business.
A bathroom is the room in a house where you shower, including doing your business etc.
A washroom, restroom, powder room etc are euphemistic terms used especially in public places such as hotels, malls for the public to do their businesss etc.

In American English, toilet refers to the actual toilet, although it can be used to mean bathroom.
The bathroom is the place with the toilet, it doesn't have to have a shower or sink to be a bathroom (at least colloquially, from the dictionary it probably does)
Wash room is a polite way to say bathroom I guess. Not really used in American English
"I am going to the bathroom" is what you would say or "where are the bathrooms?"
"Where is the toilet" is kind of odd to say but acceptable.
