As the title says, I would like to understand what these things are and how they are related to each other (if they are), thank you all very much in advance!

Using the analogy of your home to keep things simple…

DHCP is like you calling up City Hall to find out what address they’ve assigned your home and confirming how to send letters or packages to others.

IPv6 is used as method of identifying homes (ex. your specific home address) so that when someone wants to send you a letter it arrives at your house.
