Figured bass is related to what notation used in today's rock and jazz music?

Figured bass was basically a chord chart (also indicating the inversion ) in the Baroque period and musicians improvised upon those charts much like jazz players do today using modern chord chart notation.

Also, figured bass is similar to the Nashville number system. I is the tonic and V is the dominant.....et cetera.
