For "time is relative", you can use both.
For "I don't have time", you can only use 時間.

What about 時をとまれ, ("Stop (the) time", I guess) are they both usable or do you only use 時 for that?
You cannot say 時をとまれ as とまる is an intransitive verb. Things can とまる, but you cannot とまる anything. 

We say 時とまれ.
