You ask difficult questions!! Haha your English is really advanced.
Related can describe similarity between things and people as well as ideas, but relevant only talks about thing as pertaining to an idea.
EX. "The dog is related to the wolf."
"I can relate to you."
Means: I've been in a similar situation as you so I understand what you mean.
EX. "We were talking about dogs. Cats are irrelevant."
Means: Since we were talking about dogs, cats have nothing to do with the topic.
"That's not relevant."
Means: That's not important.

"Relevant" describes something that is more closely connected to or important to the subject being discussed.
"Related" describes a more general connection with the subject being discussed.
Ex. "Since teamwork and productivity are closely related, he should analyze the relevant data."
