I have POS question:

What is the relation between your stake, your hash rate, the network hashrate and the chance you get the find the next block?
(A mathematical function would be great)

There is no relation because you don't have to mine to get your stake. You just have to sync your computer wallet.

If there is no relation between the stake and the chance of finding the next block, how does POS help against 51% attacks?

You will probably find some answers here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=483847.msg6303421;topicseen#msg6303421
