I understand that in relation to one alloy. Are you saying direct comparisons apply to different alloys?

Not just steel but many other metals as well.
Here's a graph showing a couple.

IT's interesting to see how well Brass lines up with soft steel.

Yes, for steels and some corrosion resistant steels it is common practice to use hardness testing as a means of determining approximate tensile strength.
