6. His audience is you and (I, me).
I (I am still kind of confused on how you know when to use I instead of me.)
The clue here is the verb... "is" is a linking verb. That means that what is one side has to be equal to what is on the other side. So the predicate nominative is the same case as the subject. Audience is I. This can be reversed...I am audience.
9. He and (us, we) are united through the spirit of his reflections.
us
You would not say "US are united. So this would be He and we are united.
