To sign "and you," start by signing "and": place your open dominant hand in front of your chest with the palm facing inward, then pull it across your body to the dominant side while closing your fingers together into a pinched 'O' shape. Next, sign "you" by pointing your index finger directly forward at the person you are talking to. Combine these two motions smoothly.
Sign "I", "GOOD", and then smoothly transition into "AND YOU". Be sure to raise your eyebrows slightly at the end to clearly indicate that you are asking a question.
After signing "I LIKE PIZZA", use "AND YOU" to turn your statement into an interactive question, maintaining eye contact with the person you are addressing.
Introduce yourself first, then point the "AND YOU" sign toward the other person to prompt them for their name, keeping an inquisitive and friendly facial expression.

In casual ASL, you can often just point back at the person (signing 'you') with raised eyebrows to mean 'what about you?' However, signing the full phrase 'and you' is great for clarity and is commonly used by beginners.
Since 'and you?' is a prompt to keep the conversation going, you generally want to raise your eyebrows, widen your eyes slightly, and lean in a bit to show you are expecting a response from the other person.
No, 'and you' is typically used to ask a question back to someone. If you want to say 'you too' (for example, replying to 'have a good day'), you would use the specific sign for 'SAME-AS' directed at the person.
