C'est quoi vs Qu'est-ce que c'est ?

What is the difference between C'est quoi ? and Qu'est-ce que c'est ? and in what context we use them? Both of them seem same to me in English.

les gens versus les personnes

Are "les gens" and "les personnes" interchangeable, or does "les gens" mean "people in general" and "les personnes" mean "people, considered as individuals"? (This is the fun, and puzzling, part of learning a language - understanding nuances.)

ressentir and sentirIn the phrase "quand j'ai senti/ressenti une douleur", is there any difference or preference between the verbs sentir and ressentir? And later in the passage could she have said "je me ressentais un peu mieux" or do you always use se sentir in that case?

Son amieIn some other lesson I read that we use ´son' for amie. This is probably to ease pronunciation. My question is what is the rule if there is an adjective between son and amie that doesn't begin with a vowel. Is son petit ´amie' or ' sa petite ami' correct?
