Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

The addresses themselves are completely independent but you can see if the coins that go through them come from or go to a common source.  If you see a transaction that spends coins from two addresses you now know that those two addresses belong to the same person.

Try looking up the addresses on blockexplorer.com.
