They are all forms of dangerous weather. Both tornadoes and hail storms are a product of severe thunderstorms and often occur together. Both tornadoes and blizzards produce strong winds. Aside from that they are very different.

No, hail doesn't fall in tornadoes, but it often falls near them.
Hail forms in the strong updraft of a severe thunderstorm, which keeps the hailstones airborne as they form. Tornadoes require a specific type of severe thunderstorm called a supercell. The tornado itself forms from a strong, rotating updraft which can also generate hail.
Most tornadoes form from supercell thunderstorms, which are characterized by a type of cloud called a wall cloud. Wall clouds are typically associated with rotating updrafts that can lead to the development of tornadoes.
Tornadoes are often called twisters.
