Assume $D$ is a diagonal matrix. Are the Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of $AA^T$ and $ADA^T$ related in anyway i.e. are the Eigenvectors same, Eigenvalues same, or is their any spectral relationship between these matrices? Also, the diagonal elements of the matrix $D$ are all greater than 1.
PS: I came across this when trying to prove something related to the operator norms of the two matrices. Any suggestions or references would be very helpful. Thanks.

Have you tried simple 2x2 examples, before asking?

Yes. I tried small matrices and it seems that the Eigenvalues of $ADA^T$ are greater than eigenvalues of $AA^T$. But I can't prove this analytically.

Note that $ADA^T = (AsqrtD)(AsqrtD)^T$, so you're trying to compare singular values of $A$ and $AsqrtD$, where $sqrtD$ is an essentially arbitrary diagonal matrix consisting of values greater than $1$. I haven't parsed it properly, but maybe this answer might help? math.stackexchange.com/a/1793562/248286

If $ Ain mathbbC^n times n$
We have that
$$A^TA = (U Sigma V^T)^T(U Sigma V^T) = (V^T)^TSigma^T U^T(USigma V^T) $$
now we know that $U^TU= I $
$$V Sigma^T U^T Sigma V^T = V Sigma^T Sigma V^T $$
and
$ Sigma^T Sigma = Sigma^2 $
$$ A^TA = V Sigma^2 V^T = V Lambda V^T$$
Where $ Lambda $ is the matrix of eigenvalues $ VV^T = V^T V = I$
Now
$$ ADA^T = (U Sigma V^T)D(U Sigma V^T)^T $$
$$ AD A^T = (USigma V^T)D(V Sigma U^T) $$
I can't come up any obvious connections other then $D=I$ then the eigenvalues are the same
I can only think of a relation perhaps
$$A^TA = V Lambda V^T $$
$$ |V Lambda V^T | leq | V | Lambda | | V^T |$$
$$ | A^TA| leq | Lambda| =max_1 leq i leq n | | lambda_i|$$
now suppose $D= cI$ where $c$ is a scalar
$$ A^TD A = (VSigma^TU^T cI USigma V^T $$
$$ | A^TDA | leq | V| Sigma^T | |U^T | |cI | | U| | Sigma | |V^T |$$
$$ | A^T D A | leq |Sigma | | cI| | Sigma | $$
Now $ Lambda = Sigma^2$
$$| A^T D A | leq max_1 leq i leq n | |c| max_1 leq i leq n |sigma_i| = |c| max_1 leq i leq n |lambda_i| $$
The eigenvalues are scaled up in this case by the c. Or you can observe at the least the maximum eigenvalue will be?
Thanks for the answer Geronimo. I added a small point to the question: diagonal elements of the matrix $D$ are greater than 1. Would this change anything?

Jul 20 at 22:00
The diagonal elements of D are the eigenvalues of D. I imagine this would have small scaling factor on the other matrices and you may be able to show that through some norm comparisons. I think when I wrote this down I wrote $A^TA$ however the eigenvalues of $A^TA $ are equal to $AA^T$ ...
