There are inexpensive toilet seat locks that are made to keep children from throwing stuff into the toilet, maybe one of those might work. And if mother-in-law needs to use the toilet for what it is intended to be used for, she would need to let your know. The down side would be when she needs to use the facility in the middle of the night.

Yes, what she is flushing down could damage the septic. She would need to pay for the repair since she is living in her own home, and the more frequent emptying of the septic tank.

The biggest enemy of a septic system is bleach in the laundry and dishwasher detergent. My SIL refused to change her ways, so her husband dumps that effluent out the side of the house. Neither one of them is particularly bright.
If I were you I would just get an annual maintenance contract from a honey dipper.
