1. Climate change and El Nino are not related? At all? Or the jury (majority of science guys and gals in the know) is still not agreed in either direction? I claim ignorance on this aspect.
If and how El Niņo will change with global warming is the topic of intense scientific debate with lots of contradictory hypotheses. We don't know much about how it changed with changing background climate in the past, either, which is why I work in that area.

2. So, winter arriving early to Peruvian highlands but not to Purvian beaches means El Nino can't be happening? Or are the two wholly independent?
Relatively independent.
