How related were ancient Egyptian dynasties? Was there a complete break genealogically with the previous dynasty?

As a comparison, every English monarch is a direct descendant of William I. Were Egyptian dynasties related to each other? I'm referring to pre-Ptolemaic Egypt.

Did ancient chariot using cultures use chariots because horses at that time were too small to effectively carry a rider in battle?

I've come across this theory a few times but the authors seemed to take it for granted and offered no proof. Have archeologists ever dug up ancient horse skeletons and compared their size to modern horses? I know the stirrup wasn't in use until after the Roman period but that didn't stop the Greeks or Romans from fielding cavalry.
