Hi, there--
.
The first sentence is incorrect because it uses an objective pronoun (him) for the subject of the sentence. It should read, "Are you and he related?"
.
The fourth sentence is actually correct although few of us actually speak this way. We is a subjective pronoun correctly used as the subject of the sentence. Most often, you would hear people say, "We finished well into the night." In this sentence, the speaker is not including Tashina in the group that the speaker considers to be "we." The sentence is usually worded, but grammatically correct.
.
Hope this helps!
