Elder is the comparative degree and is generally used, when two people are compared to each other. Eldest is the superlative degree of adjective and thus is generally used to describe one person among many people. We should also keep in mind that elder being the comparative degree of adjective can be used with or without the use of ' the ' before it, but eldest, being the superlative degree is generally used after the word ' the '.
Hope this helps.
