What and relative clause?

Are these sentences correct: "what does your girl friend do that drives you crazy?" and "you should keep calm about what your girl friend does that drives you crazy"? Can we use them instead of "what are things your girl friend does that drive you crazy?" and "you should keep calm about things your girl friend does that drive you crazy"?. Thank you.

Thank you. Also, to mean "what your girl friend did is a big sorrow", can we say the sentences below?:

It is a big sorrow your girl friend did.
It is a big sorrow which your girl friend did.
It is a big sorrow that your girl friend did.
It is a big sorrow what your girl friend did.
