You might try McMaster Carr. I needed some variuos size plugs similar to what you have described, some with wing nuts , some that had to be inflated with air. Can't remember what they are called to make the search easier.

To project, you would need to build up sudden pressure from the tank material sloshing towards the area the pipe is connected to the tank. This is why the plumbing should only tap the tank top near the center, never on the ends or sides.

That happens to us a ton. A fellow 1191 owner complained to me about the same thing WRT the sink. I bought rubber corks that I jam in there (sink and shower) as tight as I can and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. When it doesn't it's ugly. I've had the walls of the bathroom covered with the P-trap water many times. I try to remember to lay a towel in the sink on long trips to at least keep the splashing down. I'd like to find some corks that are adjustable....seems like I saw some once where there is a flat washer on the bottom and on the top, and you crank a bolt to squash the rubber out wide enough to lock into place.
Anybody seen these anywhere?

That type of plug is used to close off the drain in small boats, typically in the transom. Look at a marine supply house, such as West Marine.
