Been there, seen it, done it, bought the T-shirt, at my mothers place a few weeks ago.
First, you should go to Lowes and buy a small snake to run through that old pipe in the wall. Could have a bunch of hair in that section. While you are there, buy a new steel/brass trap and a Fernco coupling (rubber sleeve with a hose clamp on each end) to connect to the old stub in the wall. You need to get rid of that corrugated plastic trap. Cut off the old stub so it at least has a square cut end.
And while you are at Lowes, you might as well pick up up a new drain and stopper (and some plumbers putty to mount it) because you know that as soon as you touch that think it will fall apart. Old plumbing is just that way. Get steel/brass, not plastic.
