Replacing à + object with ‘y’

Bonjour Madame,

A sentence from the lesson states -

Nous nous l'imaginons blonde aux yeux bleus.

Could “aux yeux bleus” be replaced with “y” as and be correct -

Nous nous l’y imaginons blonde. ?

Merci beaucoup !

Que vs QuiI thought I understood when to use que vs qui until I encountered this question in B2:La femme________ je travaille est très sympa. (The woman for whom I work is very nice.)'pour qui' or 'pour que'
It seemed to me the subj.present verb 'travaille' had the ''subject je so the qui/que was providing the object, hence I chose que, but apparently the answer is qui. See also tips in the above lesson, since it is followed by je shouldn't it be que?

Pronunciation in "J'insisterai jusqu'à ce que tu ailles le voir"

The pronunciation I'm hearing in the audio sounds like ". . . ce que t'way le voir" for " . . . ce que tu ailles le voir."

Is this actual French pronunciation or a bad recording?

The test statement is "J'habite _____ Texas." The hint is "Le Texas is an American State." Shouldn't the answer be "J'habite dans le Texas" according to the very first example in the regions, states, counties section yet the answer given is "J'habite au Texas." All the exceptions are overwhelming but this seems to be exactly like the example.
