A:
No, there isn't any similarity or relation in meaning like that I'm aware of.
They are just two words that are spelled the same.
The word "hail" is like the word "lie."
"Lie" is a verb that means to deceive. But, "lie" is also a verb that represents the present continuous state of the word "lay."
For example:
1. "I decided to lie about being married."
2. "Usually, before I sleep, I lie in bed for an hour and think about what I will do tomorrow."
There are just words like that in English, unfortunately
(I say unfortunately because you just helped me realize that there are words like this in English. Now I understand how tricky some words can be).

Q:

① it’s ok.
② no thank you.
We ate a dinner at a restaurant. We got full, so the waiter offers some dessert, and asked us if we could eat them.
So, we said " daiyoubu 大丈夫". We are full , but we can eat them, and also we mean we are full so, we can’t eat them.
Even Japanese sometimes confuses them. Does this sound natural?
