Hi Leo, I have written the sample below using the Part Document relationship to show how you can add a new relationship and then open the form of the new related item. 
var relshipID = aras.getRelationshipTypeId("Part Document");
var srcItem = aras.getItemById("Part", "579766B0E0914B399016CBFE2BDF531E");
// Create the new related item
var relatedItem = aras.newItem("Document");
// Create the relationship
var temp = aras.newRelationship(relshipID, srcItem, false, this, relatedItem, "Document");
// Show the new related item
aras.uiShowItemEx(relatedItem, 'tab view', false, false);
Please note that this sample is intentionally simplified and does not do things like:
  • Ensure the parent item is locked
  • Synchronize the data between the related item's form and the row in the parent item's relationship grid
To answer your second question, you can remove the "No related" option by checking the "Requires Related" flag on the RelationshipType in question. Beyond that, I do not believe that it is possible to change the which option is available by default. If the "Pick Related" option is enabled, it will always be displayed first.
