Yes. The formal/respectful second-person pronouns are identical to the third-person plural, except that you capitalize them. They follow the same rules for verb conjugation as well. That's why Sie sind willkommen. is ambiguous: it means both "They are welcome" and "You, sir/madam, are welcome."

If Duolingo marked you wrong on that one, it's probably just because the word is "Dankeschön," not "danke shon." The umlaut is very important, because "schon" means "already" and "schön" means "pretty."

So ist dankeschön correct or not for this sentence? Because it was marked incorrect just curious?

"Dir" is the object form of "du" (singular and informal) whereas "sie" (uncapitalized) means "she" and "Sie" means "you" (formal). So there is a mismatch.
