Pronunciation of 'tous'

I thought 'tous' was pronounced 'too' unless it was used as a pronoun meaning 'all (of us/them)'.

But in the example:

Je veux que vous ayez tous votre exam.

'tous' is pronounced 'Toos'.

Is this correct? If so, why?

Ce matin, elle en a trouvé une sous le sèche-cheveuxHello. In the Week 29 B1 writing test, the above sentence appears as a translation for 'This morning, she found one under the hairdryer.' To begin with I was confused by the phrase appearing to have two objects. But after thinking about it could this sentence be read as: 'This morning, she found one (of them) under the hairdryer.' ~Thanks for your help

spoon names and sizesI'm puzzled by you're translating 'teaspoon' as 'une cuillère à café'. Surely it should be 'une cuillère à thé'? I've also heard 'une petite cuillère'. I would expect to reserve 'une cuillère à café' for a coffee spoon, a different, smaller item.
