| 1. How do i specify a relative path to this file name, so that it can be

Before log4j is configured, insert the application server home path in the
System properties, e.g.
System.setProperty( "j2ee.home", <path>" )
Then insert your relative part in another property
System.setProperty( "my.log.files", <relative path>" )
Now you can use Log4j's standard variable interpolation support in your
config file:
log4j.appender.R.File=${j2ee.home}/{my.log.files}/test.log

| creating the log ?
It will, but (probably) relative to the System variable "user.dir".
