Anyone interested for Orphic Theogony (Orphism)? Since It’s a bit more complicated than Hesiod’s Theogony and it will take a good part of my time, I won’t do it for just 2-3 people.

Does they have Enns, mantras or sigils to channel them? Special interest in Erebus and Tartarus

As most ancient Gods they don’t have any of the above. You can find the Orphic hymn of Gaia and Uranus which you can use for evocation/invocation but the rest don’t have any.

Is Thanatos, Tartarus, Hades and Erebus somehow related? I am focusing to learn more about the dark Gods

Is your question if they are the same Entity? No they’re not.
Thanatos is a secondary deity of the Underworld (which is also called Hades) brother of Hypnos (Sleep). Unlike later depictions, he’s a handsome young man with or without wings.
Tartarus is both a secondary deity of the Underworld, father of Typhon, and a location in the Underworld close to the Xtian Hell, a place were the evil men are tortured in the after life.
Hades/Haides/Plouton is the King of the Underworld and the name of the entire Underworld.
Erebus is primordial diety connected with the Underworld, twin brother and consort of Nyx and the name of the darkest place in the Underworld where the palace of Plouton and Persephone is. In the yard of the palace, there are 2 spings, Lethe where common souls drink to erase every memory and Mnemosyne where the Adepts of the Mysteries were drinking. In the yard is also where the three Judges sit: King Minos, King Rhadamanthus and King Aeacus. Where the 3 roads connect, is the sacred place devoted to Hecate and is where the 3 Judges decide for the souls of the dead.

Awesome!! 
now I have another question if Hades and Persephone have their palace there where is the connection with Hecate. Is there another underworld?
I’m not sure I understand your question… What kind of connection you’re trying to find?
Hecate along with the other Titans who either helped or stayed neutral during the Titanomachy were incorporated in Olympus. Hecate specifically was left with her original glory and was given honourably (some) powers over Sea and Sky (means she’s not the ruler of Sea like Poseidon or Sky like Zeus, but still she has some powers over them) and by helping Demeter in the search for Persephone she gained some Chthonic powers as well (of the Earth).
She was the first who went to the Underworld with her torches to find Persephone and threated Hades to return her to Demeter. Eventually they (Hecate and Persephone) became close and after mother and daughter were reunited she chose to stay in the Underworld with her where she took her hypochthonic powers (under the Earth) and she became Persephone’s escord: Hermes is escording her when she Ascends and Hecate escords her when she Decends.
She also became the Guardian of the ghost of the unburried dead which by tradition were destined not to enter Hades (Underworld) but to roam aimlesly for 100 years in the World of the Living and for that was named Queen of the Ghosts. This is the main story of how Hecate became an Underworld Goddess, of course there were many others not so popular like for example that she was the daughter of Zeus and Hera, cursed by Hera and driven to the Underworld to cleanse herself and from then she stayed there. But you see, Hecate is a Titaness, so it’s impossible to be the child of Zeus and Hera.
Obviously she lives in the Palace with the King and Queen of the Underworld for the time she stays there, Gods don’t hold grudges like humans after all and she became Hades (the God) partner. If they were in bad terms you think there would be a sacred place in the Palace dedicated to Hecate? 
No the Underworld is one, but imagine that it’s divided in sections.
