which of the 2 are closer? German - dutch or English - dutch. My guess is they are right in-between the two linguistically.

In-between yes. Within the western germanic language continuum it's basically the center between English to the west and German to the east.

Thats a great question and to be completely honest, I'm not sure! I am fluent in Dutch and English, but not in German. So I'm not fully qualified to answer that haha. I can still understand part of German though, some works are just so similar in all three languages.
