The first one makes a "yu" sound, like "Yucatan". The second is just "u", like "Pluto". Since the "yu" in "lyudi" is right after a "l", it may be harder to there the "y" part of the letter in this word.

It is used, very commonly. Both автомобіль and авто. Машина actually means "machine", but it is often used to mean just car.
I put 'a' instead of 'i' for "and", and it was marked incorrect. What's the reason that 'a' can't be used here?
What's the difference then between "а" and "але"?

Але is your usual "but". Some patterns for when to use "a" you can find here: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/9012790
"Машина" is nominative singular. "Машини" can be nominative plural, accusative plural or genitive singular, depending on the context.
