Ok description is not loaded by default so what I had do was ugly way of displaying description on related product.

In foreach loop you can get product id from this $_item->getEntityId()

And from id load product model $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_item->getEntityId());

$product->getDescription() give you description of product.

And for add to cart button remove your checkbox input field put something like this

<a href="<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl() ?>checkout/cart/add/product/<?php echo $_item->getId();?>">Add to cart </a>

thus you can have individual add to cart link.
