If your grandmother is someone else's great-grandmother, what does that make you and the someone else to one another?

What if the grandmother/great-grandmother had two husbands, and you're descended from one man and the someone else from the other?

First cousins once removed. I don't think there's a word for the latter, but I presume it'd mean you're half-first cousins once removed.

In the first case, I think it could be parent/child or aunt or uncle/niece or nephew.

I believe the second case would include the word half in there. I think.
