Is there a relationship between Open Theism and Pantheism? Seems to me like there are similarities.

Not to my knowledge. Pantheism equates God with the laws and forces of the universe, in effect 'de-personalizing' God.

Open theism is a construct of biblical data which emphasizes the extent of 'knowability' of contingent events, particularly those where the contingency involves a free will decision of man.
