What dogs are related to schnauzers?
All three Schnauzer breeds (Miniature, Standard and Giant) are related to the German Pinscher. The German Pinscher is the ancestor of the Miniature Pinscher and both the Miniature Schnauzer and the Standard Schnauzer are essentially wire-hair versions of the Miniature and German Pinschers. The Doberman came after all the other Pinschers and Schnauzers and while some German Pinscher blood was used to create the breed so were many other breeds such as the Weimaraner, Rottweiler, possibly the Great Dane (which is a German breed) and possibly the Greyhound and other breeds and mutts as well. The Giant Schnauzer was created by crossing Standard Schnauzers, German Poodles, Bouvier des Flanders, Great Danes and various rough coated sheep dogs and drover dogs. The German Pinscher and the Standard Schnauzer are the oldest, with artwork as late as the 1400's depicting German dogs that had similar looks to these 2 breeds. Both the German Pinscher and Standard Schnauzer, along with the Miniature Pinscher and Miniature Schnauzer became official breeds in the late 1800's. In developing the Standard Schnauzer (and subsequintly the Miniature Schnauzer) from the German Pincher the German Poodle was probably used too.

Are there different sized schnauzers?
No. Giant Schnauzers and Miniature Schnauzers are not the same breed. Giant Schnauzers and Miniature Schnauzers have a common ancestry in that both breeds were "bred-up" and bred-down" from the standard schnauzer. The Miniature Schnauzer was "bred-down" by breeding terriers with the larger Standard Schnauzer. The Miniature Schnauzer is a terrier breed. The Giant Schnauzer is the result of breeding larger breeds, e.g. the Bouvier des Flandres and the Great Dane, with the Standard Schnauzer. The Giant Schnauzer is a Working Dog breed. Other than appearance, the Schnauzer name and their common ancestor, which seems like a lot, the Miniature Schnauzer and Giant Schnauzer share little else.
