No, you don't have to be a relative at all, but make sure it's someone you trust, and don't have a blanket power of attorney, a limited power of attorney is best, one that only covers what HAS to be covered, and one that only allows the other person to act in your best interests, that way, you're protected from someone taking everything you own and leaving you penniless.

No , if the person still has their faculties they can have u appointed as their Representative. Otherwise they r at the mercy of the court and whoever challenges the court's appointed trustee. If u have been a lover or close friend and can prove that no family member ever gave a damn about the person, u can petition the court to be a qualified Representative to be appointed at the court's discretion.
