Hi! They are different conjugations of the irregular verb zijn (to be).

U is similar to je/jij, the first being formal, the latter informal.

"We" is the unstressed pronoun, "Wij" is the stressed pronoun.
We: "We are going to the movies."
Wij: "WE are going to the movies, you are not."
Use "Wij" if you want to emphasize the word.

Yes, ze/zij can both mean either she or they. You can tell them apart by the verb conjugation.
