I don't think they're supposed to be related but the creature design is pretty close.

They're not, the producers actually said they were worried about the movie getting roped into it when they pitched it to the studio.

I read an interesting take that the movie really does a good job of trading on some of a parents worst fears. Namely removing the safety net of a child( and the father) learning from their mistakes. I mean the actor that played the son does a great job portraying someone terrified of the world and everything in it, which makes the hunting scenes all the more powerful.

One thing about the movie I was unsure of was the signal fire stuff. There's one scene early on in the movie where John Krasinski lights a signal fire and dozens of other fires light up in response. Later on in the movie the children also light a fire but nobody responds--does this suggest that everyone else has fallen victim to the monsters, and this is the last family left?

it was much later in the night, so the other people probably weren't manning their signal tower. They weren't signaling for help, they were lighting up a sign for their dad to find them.

He doesn’t want her down there because it’s a collection of active electronics and other things. It’s dangerous enough down there for the family if you know what you’re doing and is exponentially more dangerous if you accidentally bump into something that makes noise and don’t realize it because you’re deaf.
