Caminar/andar, bien/bueno, mejor/mas bien??

I understand what they mean, but not when to use them or why they are different. How do I know which fits better in a sentence? Is there a rule for this? It is very confusing to me. Also, sometimes my Hispanic friends respond to something I say with either 'que bien' or 'que bueno'. Again, I understand the meaning, but what is the difference and why?

Bien can be an adjective or adverb - meaning 'well'

No me siento bien. i don't feel well. (adj)

or

Lo haces muy bien. Your doing it very well (adv)

Buen/a/o on the other hand is an adjective meaning 'good'

Hiciste un buen trabajo. You did a good job.
