The terms grand niece and great niece mean the same thing, the granddaughter of your brother or sister. Some regions, and some people, prefer one term and some prefer the other, but both are correct and understandable terms.

There is no difference between a great uncle or aunt and a grand uncle or aunt.

It is common to see "great grandfather" and "great granduncle". It sounds somewhat strange to hear "great great father" but it isn't so strange to hear "great great uncle"

There is no difference between "great uncle" and "grand uncle." Some people prefer to use one term and some the other. Both terms refer to a brother of one of your grandparents.

Which is correct - great aunt or grand aunt?

The aunt of a great grand niece is her aunt - the sister of her mother or father. The great grand niece has a great grand aunt, or great grand uncle, who is the sibling of one of her great grandparents. In normal conversation, such a person would usually be called "Aunt," becasue adding all those "greats" and "grands" is cumbersome and would probably just make her feel old.
