Are these two words interchangeable? When do you use 'that' and when do you use 'which'.

Which - to ask a question
"Which jumper?"

That - to answer a question
"That jumper?"

On a bit of a related topic,how would one handle this one.

'The people that use Boards' or ' The people who use Boards'

The first version is ' getting popular' but I prefer the second example.
