Yes, "deren" -> femenine, plural / "dessen" -> masculine, neutral.
Das ist die Frau, deren Sohn / Das ist der Mann, dessen Bruder / Das ist der Mann, dessen Schwester.

Does it matter what article one puts as a translation to 'This'? I.e. is 'Die ist die Frau' acceptable? If not, why not?

Generaly 'Das' is used if the person/animal/thing hasn't been introduced yet. So here, as the 'das' is before 'die Frau', it is the most common article to use. After the woman has been mentioned you would use 'sie' of course.
