When is joli rather than beau the right word to use?

I was taught that a bâtiment is 'joli' not 'beau'. Is there a reason or rule that explains which adjective to use for different things?

Placement of y in a sentence using futur procheI thought there was a rule that "y" should come before the verb (including auxiliary verb). There seems to be an exception when using the futur proche? For example: Je vais y reflechir rather than J'y vais reflechir.

T'asActually I saw people using 't'as' in sitcoms, and I guessed it should be 'tu as'. Do we get to use that once we are more advanced? It's an informal expression, right?
