So can either "ты" or "вы" be used at any time and still mean the same thing?...or is it just for this sentence?
Ты и Вы are essentially the same, except that Ты is informal and singular always. Вы is formal singular, informal plural, and/or formal plural.
Что is the accusative. Чего is the genitive. You are confusing it with animate objects. Что is not animate since it refers to any object.

Why is вы not accepted - I thought it was just the informal vs formal forms?
Post your entire answer, please. There's probably another mistake in it somewhere.
Так в данном контексте нельзя. В этом контексте используется настоящее время, т.е. "Что вы готовите (сейчас, в данный момент)?", а "Что вы приготовите" - это будущее время. Ну и "приготовишь" употребляется с "ты", а не с "вы".
Why does the spell checker object to готовишь when it is part of the correct answer.
Did you write "Что вы готовишь"?
(I am not especially good at mind reading but that does seem the most obvious way to make a wrong answer with готовишь)
