Will "Krot" or "Mr. Muscle" help in a toilet?

On organic plugs (paper, waste), maybe, but slowly and not always. On a foreign object, useless. Chemistry does not stay long in the toilet (the U-bend), and most of it goes further down the pipe.

Can I punch through the toilet with a plastic bottle?

You can (cut off the bottom and use it as a mini plunger), but a regular plunger is more effective and does not scratch the enamel. The bottle is a last resort when nothing else is on hand.

Dropped a phone in the toilet, it got flushed — can it be retrieved?

If the toilet clogged right after, there is a chance the phone is in the S-bend or the outlet. The plumber will remove the toilet and retrieve it. If it flushed through, the phone is somewhere in the stack or the main collector — recovery is almost impossible.

The shared stack is blocked — who calls and who pays?

Formally — the building committee (ועד בית). In practice, if it is urgent at your place, it is faster to call yourself, get a stack blockage report and bill the committee. Keep the documents.
