1. If i wanted to hypothetically use the portfolio to server as my blog since the portfolio has the sorting feature, how do i get the "related posts" thumbnails at the bottom of each blog posts to show-up at the bottom of the portfolio items instead?
2. If the item above works, then how would i get the "recent posts" and "most popular posts" to display portfolio items instead of blog items
Create a new thread and tell me what problems you are encountering and what you want to know. 
There is no step 3 :)
