And here I thought that each trap required it's own vent...
Every trap REQUIRES a vent, but the vent can be shared with other traps is that is more convenient. There are MANY ways to revise the drain system so it is "correct", but if you were to purchase the wall mount bracket for that sink so you could elevate it a couple of inches higher, what you have, even though it is "improper", would work, after you unplug the stoppage causing the backup.
