What was Jonah and Gods relationship like?

At first Jonah's relationship with God wasn't very good because God asked him to go to a city that Jonah did not want to go to so for punishment since he disobeyed God's command he was swallowed by a great fish(whale), finally Jonah went to that city and there relationship grew and was finally... how it was suppose to be!

Why was Noah swallowed by a fish?

It wasn't Noah, it was Jonah. Jonah was fleeing from God's request for him to preach to the wicked Assyrian city of Nineveh, since, as he later stated, he knew God to be merciful and he was afraid God would spare them if they repented (not a very kind attitude to have). The great fish was God's methodology of bringing Jonah back to where he started and bringing him to a point where he was ready to do what God wanted. The full account is in the Old Testament book of Jonah. Interestingly enough, despite the many scoffings over the years at the implausibility of this story, a man on a whaling expedition in the 19th century was recorded as having spent significant time in a whale, and lived to tell of it. This is not to say that Jonah's fish was actually a whale, as whales are mammals, but that it is not impossible.
