Actually, we do have a Garlean-Highlander mix NPC, Arenvald.
Lore thread on him too: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threa...half-breed
His NPC dialogue changes a few times, but if I'm getting my facts right, his mother was an Ala Mhigan and his bastard father was a Garlean.
From what we can deduce from Garleans so far, we could call them a very unique clan of Hyur. Naturally, the more Garlean features are only available to purebloods/native Garleans. It would seem their genetic differences do not get carried on., such as their inability to manipulate aether and their third eye.

In regards to Padjal, they are considered a race of their own, but are made, not born. Padjal are effectively spirited-away children selected by the Elementals in the Black Shroud. While the ones we see in-game are all made from Hyur children, there's a lot of speculation that Padjal could also have come from Elezen children (or any race, really) if the Elementals willed it.
