The question is short and to the point, but the answer isn't. Depending on the situation there are many different ways to say these ideas.

Give an example of what you are trying to say, and I can be more help.

Ok, an example...

and: I walked over to the boy and...
but: I walked over to the boy but...
or: Should I get this one or that one?

That. I hope I got that right.

1) 男の子の方に行って。。。 (with verbs, "and" is the first verb in て form)

2) 男の子の方に行ったけど。。。

3) There are a few ways to say this one.
これとそれと、どちらがいいでしょうか。
or
これかそれか、どちらがいいでしょうか。
