The thing about the statue has been discussed already and yes, it's true that the sword that the man in the statue is holding is almost exactly the same as Jaune's. The Left and Right thing was twitted by Monty a long time ago, I recall that it was right before he uploaded the Jaune Rig Testing where he is dancing with his new shoes.

Ozpin being related to Jaune is way too unlikely. The fact that there is a statue there doesn't necessarily mean that it's related to Ozpin since he is only the headmaster, not the funder of Beacon. Another thing is that Ozpin is not the type of person to make choices based on his feelings and relationships, just like he disagree with his old pal Ironwood in his choice to prepare for the upcoming war by bringing out the big guns. He wouldn't assign Jaune as team leader only because he is his nephew or something like that.
