I was mostly surprised that my Otopharynx lithobate male (Yellow Blaze / Z-rock) classified as a Haplochromine correct? would breed with a Aulonocara female. Will most haps breed with various Aulonocara and Mubuna? Is there any resource to find out this information?

Haplochromines are considered a tribe of African cichlids, including manny genera, like Aulonacara, Otopharnyx, etc, and any in that ancestral group can interbreed.
just as the many of the new world cichlids are from an ancestral lineage that can interbreed including Mesoheros, Mayaheros, and Vieja.
