I answered the second sentence, but not the first. Here goes:

Short tail, no teeth: Neornithes, Confuciusornithidae, *Gobipteryx*, 
*Archaeorhynchus* yadda yadda.
Short tail, teeth all over both jaws: most EK Enantiornithes, *Yanornis* 
yadda yadda.
Long tail, teeth: *Archaeopteryx* if you want to count it as a bird.
Long tail, no or almost no teeth: the 
*Shenzhouraptor*/*Jeholornis*/*Jixiangornis*/*Dalianraptor* complex; 
also, *Yandangornis*.

Not correlated.
