Finnish is quite similar to Estonian, but the relation to Hungarian is more of a scientific one. A Finn can, with some effort, get a hang of what an Estonian speaking about, but not so with Hungarians. The problem with Estonian is that it has a lot of words that are familiar but mean something completely different ("false friends"). The difference between Finnish and Estonian is perhaps like the difference between Swedish and Icelandic.
Karelians, not just Finns living or who used to live in Karelia, are AFAIK classified as their own people. So there's definitely a distinctively different people living in Eastern Karelia. Of course, this could be just because Finland had to suck up to the USSR for years, so we've kind of forgotten the true nature of things. I'll look into it, but my general feel is that there is definitely separate Karelian peoples as opposed to Finns.
