Answer 1

This would depend upon whether you are using usted/ustedes = son OR vosotros = sois.

Many textbooks do not even teach the vosotros/vosotras (familiar plural) form. Without knowing which textbook you have, or what your class is learning, I can not guess which is best for you1

Answer 2

To add to Sra's answer, much of this depends on where the language is spoken. There are not many areas that use the Vosotros form.

The way I learned in high school is to use the vosotros form there. This is because the "tu" is informal. When I got to college, my professors wanted me to use more the Ustedes form to designate any plural "you." They didn't mind that I used vosotros, but you could tell they preferred the Uds.
