Hesina received a letter from her family talking about new fabrials. Is she related perhaps to someone like Navani?

See, there's too much wiggle room in that. Yes. But. Not probably as closely as your question is implying.

Are both of Kaladin's maternal... grandparents darkeyes?

Does Kaladin have a mixed heritage. Like maybe Yolish and Rosharan?
