1. Go logically.
How is she your aunt? Father's sister. Correct?
That means, show the proof who your father is. That is, your birth certificate.
Now, show the proof who his father is. That is his birth certificate.
Now, show the proof whose is your aunt's father. That is her birth certificate. As long as both fathers are same, that is the proof.

Of course, this is general description. There are lots of other complicated cases of only one parent being common, step siblings, adopted children and so on.


2. It really depends.
