祖母 means a grandmother.

an old woman.
お姉さん、お兄さんmeans a older sister and older brother,but we sometimes call young man and young woman お兄さん お姉さん
In other words, these words include your relatives and others.

「祖母」means 「Someone’s grandmother」
「おばあさん」means 「 Old lady or grandmother」
「彼女は私の祖母です。」「彼女は私のおばあさんです。」both mean 「She is my grandmother.」
But
「あそこに祖母がいます。」 It means 「There is my grandmother over there.」
「あそこにおばあさんがいます。」It means 「there is an old lady over there.」
