    Probably they go down the same drain pipe and the water flow through the sink drain is causing a pressure difference and sucking water from the bath trap. Not much you can practically do about it.

    As above, it is probably because the basin and bath waste pipe are joined together.
    Put the plug in the bath and see if that stops it.

    I think you need one of these type of traps, they allow air in so the water in the trap doesn't get sucked out which I think is what's happening
