So the relation is "none at all". The only caveat is that some readers want (3) to match the internal name of the font, and calibre will warn you if it doesn't. The internal name of the font is probably not the filename, and it's not obvious how to find it, because there may be a few of them. Other readers (and most web browsers) are not so picky and then the above holds.
The Windows utility "Typograf" will display all the font information. In particular the full font name as well as the font family. If I remember correctly, the unregistered version of the program will do this. If you work with many fonts and you are using Windows, you really do need this program!
