Tom has stolen "her" chocolates (la)Tom has stolen "to her" chocolates (LUI)

Please help me

Hi Dear Kwiziq,

I am confused when it comes to translate the personal pronouns "you" into French.

As I know, in French, "you" refers to "vous" like "You all" or the formal "vous".

And French adjectives changes in function of the gender and number. In the translation below, my confusion are in red, would you mind telling me if my translation is correct?

You've just returned home from vacation — sun-kissed and blissed out — but the moment you open your inbox or spot the pile of mail that accumulated in your absence, you’re hit with a crippling sense of anxiety.

Vous revenez tout juste des vacances, bronzé et content, mais dès l'instant où vous ouvrez votre boîte de réception ou que vous apercevez le tas de courrier qui s’est accumulé en votre absence, vous êtes frappé par un sentiment d’anxiété paralysant.

Recently I came across " Qu'est-ce qui ce passe ?" and was informed it was a standard expression in French. I would like to know more about this expression (and any other related ones). A search of Kwiziq failed to come up with it. Merci d'avance,  Andrea

when do we use the passé simple and not the imparfait ?

thank you.

in this context, if you were speaking of yourself and your partner, would you use 'on'?  I thought that on was used as a more general term as we can use 'one' in English.
