In the case of nouns or proper nouns (like James) which end in an s, then either James' or James's is acceptable. It it almost a matter of personal preference. In England there is a St James' Park (Newcastle) and St James's Park (London).
Both forms are correct, but using "James's mother-in-law" is more common in modern usage. The apostrophe without the extra "s" after the name is an acceptable stylistic choice, particularly in writing that follows older style guides.
The correct phrase is "You're welcome," with an apostrophe to indicate the contraction of "you are."

The phrase "Here's to Harry" does require an apostrophe in "here's." This is because "here's" is a contraction of two different words, here and is, where the apostrophe takes the place of the missing space and the missing i from is. The "here" that "is" (being offered) to Harry in this phrase is not explicitly stated but is understood by the context to be, for example, an honoring by a "toast." Without the apostrophe, we would have heres, which is not the word meant in this phrase. (Heres is actually a legal term meaning "an heir.")
