Ett snöre = a thread, like what you use to sew clothes or tie things together.
En kedja = a chain, as in the ones that are made of metal.

Not quite, a thread is en tråd. Ett snöre is thicker than that, like a shoestring for example.

I wonder if this is related in any way to the word schedule... It is a very chain like structure!

Yes, they're both derived from Latin catena, and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European. It's a very old word.
