In lesson one we learned of formality an if I wanted to ask how my friend was doing after she asked me could I say: "¿Y tú?" instead of "¿Y usted?" or is "¿Y tú? not used at all?

Welcome to the forum. Please use proper capitalization, as there are English learners here as well. - Jeremias, Oct 31, 2011

¿Y tú? is the perfect informal response.

¿Y usted¿ is formal and used for teachers, elders, strangers, etc.

¿Y tú? is informal and used for friends, people your own age, etc.

Both are used everyday in almost all conversations that you will have...in other words, very common!
