Create a panel with related group content based on a view
Is it possible to relate the group to the view based on an argument in the path?


Yes, it is. In the view, in the contextual filters select the radio button "Provide default value", there you can decide which kind of field you want to give. If you want to get the path you should select "Row value from url" and then choose the "path component" (The numbering starts from 1, e.g. on the page admin/structure/types, the 3rd path component is "types".)

I hope this helps you.
