Is there such a relay that can act as overcurrent as well as undervoltage? I might have mistaken it for something else so I just want to make sure. Thanks in advance.

What is the maximum current rating...?

Try MPCB for lower current ratings to protect motors.
 
Overcurrent and undervoltage are two separate condititions.

For example: A sensing circuit is used to detect voltage. When the voltage decreases below a set point an alarm or signal is generated. This signal may activate a relay to control something else.

Same for overcurrent: A circuit detects the current. When the current exceeds some set point, an alarm or signal is generated. This signal may activate a relay to control something else.

There are companies that provide microprocessor based "relays" which preforms a large number of protection functions in one "relay" case. e.g.
