You're not getting anything in your attachment becaue you're not putting anything in your attachment. You have a repeat component that doesn't have anything inside it. Try changing it to the following, and you'll see what I mean:

<messaging:attachment filename="{!relatedTo.name}" renderAs="PDF">
        Before the repeat component
        <apex:repeat var="cx" value="{!relatedTo.id}">
            This is a test.
        </apex:repeat> 
        After the repeat component
    </messaging:attachment>
</messaging:emailTemplate>

If you want the body to contain something about the relatedTo object, you don't need a repeat component - repeat components are good for iterating over a list, but relatedTo.Id isn't going to be a list. Whatever it is you want to put into the body, put it in, in place of the repeat component.
