Answer 1

you need to change product page layout 1coumn to 2column right Using

 <reference name="root">
        <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
    </reference>

to

<reference name="root">
        <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/page/2columns-right.phtml</template></action>
    </reference>

and add this

<reference name="right">
 <block type="catalog/product_list_related_right" name="catalog.product.related" as="related_products" template="catalog/product/list/related.phtml" />
</reference>
