Family = people?

I was surprised to see on one of my tests that "à ma famille" could be replaced by "y," since I thought you could not use "y" as a pronoun for people. Could you use "y" in place of "à mes amis" as well, for example -- as in "Je pense à mes amis." --> "J'y pense"? Can you please clarify this rule? Thanks!

Chacune?

I don't understand why "chacune annee" can't be used. Isn't "annee" feminine, which means the modifying adjective should also be feminine? A little confused.

usage of à

Hi! I don't quite understand the usage of à in the examples: Il le vend 3 € la livre; and Le pâté se vend à 1,25 € les 100 grammes. The verb is same, constraction is same. What's the difference? Can i use both? Thanks!

In the example Je serais là dans deux semaines. Would it also be correct to say J’y serais dans deux semaines.
