I joined a tech company and we had about 15% layoffs including my boss. I plan to go to the head of the group to have an action plan. I have a few items that I want to finish and then work with them to setup my own career plan. Any advice on how to go about this conversation

Do what you may but you are fine since the layoff is done.

This is true. OP - suggest for a plan A and B. Plan A is to understand your company’s 2023 strategies and focus areas, figure out how that relates to your team and determine how you are going to support this in your work. While you do that also work on your Plan B which is to brush up your resume and keep an eye out for opportunities. You never know where things may land

I find myself questioning basic politeness I’ve learned since a child. Wondering what everyone else thinks. I work with an associate. She’s great. When she does good work or something I’ve asked her to do, I, of course, say “thank you!” I don’t really expect a response. She always replies “you’re welcome!” Or some variation. And for some reason, that’s awkward. Is it just me? I know in normal manners, that is the right response. Why does it sit funny?
