Answer 1

Try this,

In your layout pages (any page inside productdetails/tmpl ) the related products variable is available $this->product->customfieldsRelatedProducts so you can simply check like.

if(sizeof($this->product->customfieldsRelatedProducts) >0){

   // the current viewing product have related products
}else{
  //the current product have no related products
}

Hope it helps..
