Relationships are real. For example if a plant is "under" a table, that is a fact, not a subjective whim of the observer. So if morality is a relationship, then aliens and man can have different moralities but both be objective, not subjective. The relationship would be between the object sought and the entity seeking it, e.g. murder + man = bad, murder + alien = good.
Correct. Morality is a function from facts about ones community's preferences to norms of behaviour. Plug in different facts, and you get different norms een if the function is essentially the same.
