Personal, professional, whatever I guess. Who influenced whom etc? Were they
colleagues, or student/mentor etc?

I heard that Greenspan contributed somehow to Atlas Shrugged, but I know no
more.

You mean were they banging each other? That was pretty common in the
Rand circle, no? But, as they say, I have no specific knowledge. He
did go to her funeral.

He wrote some pieces for her Objectivist newsletter. Three are
included in the collection Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. One is a
defense of the gold standard, and another denounced consumer
protection laws as a statist abomination.
