No. The OY pair has an OI sound as in boy, which sounds like O-I-E. This sound is considered neither long or short although it contains these long sounds.

The -ous has a schwa or unstressed uhs sound.

No, "joyous" does not have a short vowel sound. It has a long vowel sound, as the "o" is pronounced like "oh" rather than a shorter "ah" sound.
