I know someone will want to direct me to somewhere not available directly through the mobile site to answer this, so without doing so, why is the "t" dropped from "bent" when it proceeds the pronoun "je", and is that a rule for all verbs?

The -t is dropped in questions where 'je/jij' is the subject. It's just the rule. "Ga je weg?" "Wat lees je?" "Waar kijk je naar?" "Werk je nog morgen?"
But note that verbs where the stem ends in a -t, the -t isn't dropped. "Eet je mee?" "Zit je goed zo?"

Silly question. Maybe I should know by now, but it is just to clarify.
Je, Jij and U have the same meaning?
Thanks a lot

Yeah. The only difference is they are used depending on formality and emphasis.
U - formal; singular; Jij - stressed; singular; Je - unstressed; singular; Jullie - plural
