A:
I met a Canadian woman... — the meeting occurred in the past
...who is a teacher — her current job is still "teacher" so you use present simple as it's a general truth about her.
You can use different tenses in the same sentence as long as you're describing different events and they're in different clauses. It's not impossible.
"I met a Canadian woman who was a teacher" is also correct but "is a teacher" makes it clearer that she is still (at the time of speaking) a teacher. Present perfect would sound weird with no other context but it depends what you're trying to communicate.
The same applies to your other sentence. "Where are the keys...?" is asking about their current location right now. "...that were on the table" tells you the past location of the keys — they aren't there anymore so you can't use the present tense.
