"Y'all" is the Latin tu/tui/tibi/te/te, and "All y'all" is vos/vestri/vobis/vos/vobis, right?

Y'all can be singular or plural. All y'all is plural.

>> don't know what y'all are missing

shouldn't this be "don't know what y'all is missing"?

Possibly, depending on regional dialect.

Also acceptable is "what y'all're" or "what-y'all're".

Edit" also "t'y'all're". Note that many of these sound much better said then they look written.
