The Equalists and Ty Lee aren't the only ones who knew chi blocking, just because they are the only ones who we saw using that in ATLA. Ty Lee had to learn from someone two, right? And 70+ years later is could easily spread even if those were the only sources (And it is still highly unlikely that they were the only chi blockers). So the chi blocking isn't proof of a direct or indirect link. It was probably only chosen because it can take bending away for a limited amount of time.

As for being related to Sokka and Sukki, that is also highly unlikely. Sokka and Suki were good people. They wouldn't raise their kids to commit genocide. Amon said his goal was to wipe out all benders, and that is not something a good person would do. Plus, much of Sokka's family are benders. So that would make even less sense.

It is highly unlikely Amon is related to anyone in the old show. He is likely a new and unique character, especially if you believe the story he told in episode 3.
