Do you say "Comment vas-tu?,"Comment allez-vous?(1 person) and "Comment allez-vous?" (2 or more people the same way? Thanks
Before answering this question, I should let you know that this French etiquette does not work for Haitian Creole.
First:
Yes, you are right. You may use "tu" or "vous" for 1 person; and 'vous' for 2 or more people.
Second:
"tu" is used informally. You use it with close friends and people which you're on first-name basis with.

"vous" is for formal use (and plural of course).
I have a friend who complains that she was never able to 'tutoyer' her mother-in-law, even after knowing her for 11 years. Tutoyer (v.) means to use 'tu'. and Vouvoyer (v.) means to use 'vous'.
When I was growing up, I was thought to 'vouvoyer' anyone I meet for the first time except children.
